I used old lead printer's type--got 20 or 30 pounds from my uncle. Tried melting some to make a lead block for pounding various projects on, but it turned out to be very brittle and busted up after a few whacks. Must have lots of bismuth and antimony in the alloy. But still fine for sling bullets!<br>
<br>
Melted it in a tin can on an old electric hot plate. Low tech and cheap, that's me!<br>
