Mr_Scrogg Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Does it matter? Ive found some lead ingots locally that says they measured a 15 on the Brinell Hardness. Good for pouring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 That will cast fine, use guys making fishing lures don't need to worry about BH scale hardness, that is more for bullet casting and reloading as those guys need to the lead to compress but not leave lead in the barrel, 15 will be fine for pouring jigs and stuff.

Mr_Scrogg Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Thanks for the info, smalljaw. Im suppose to be getting some flashing from a friend that roofs. Dont think Ill get enough though. Local tire place is trying to sell wheel weights. I dont think Ill pay for a bucket, sort through only to find out I can only use a percentage.
