    Default Scrap lead


    I'm getting lots of scrap lead from my job. Was thinking about making sinkers and jigs. Can you tell me the best place to get started? Tks in advance.

    I have a bunch of molds you could borrow. Stop by sometime and look them over.

    I love walking around Zeiners store, those molds wrap around the entire store almost. You can pull them down and take a gander at them before you buy them. And, they have some pretty good deals on lots of other things. I don't think their website shows 1/2 of what they got.

    We talked a bit yesterday. I think we can deal on some sinkers and jigs to get you started with playing with lead.

    This is what I found. The prices are good.

    I will tell you that while the molds that do 2 different heads, or one of a kind are cool and you won't have to buy as many, they don't pour as clean as the pro molds. Less time trimming once they're poured. It won't matter til you start pouring hundreds of something, but even if that's for yourself it means less time invested.

    X2 with Skeet - I will tell you if your going to start with Pony and Horseheads DON"T forget the cost of the swivels!!! You can get them by the 100 from Janns' (they are Worth Swivels) cheapest I've found or before prices go up again you can get them from Hagens by the 1000 which is how I get them. Also check with Robert at CAT he may be able to get them for you too. Trust me I hadn't bought them for years and when I did I didn't like the price!! I have all I need now!!

    Need some links to those places Fatman.
    I bought some swivels from an ebay vendor. #10, 12, and 14, 2.50 per 100, per K with free shipping. All the packages I've checked online and in stores are MIC. This was a lot cheaper for me.
