I cast the ingots out of bullets I clean out of my backstop. Then I cast the bullets out of the ingots.
Lather, rinse, repeat.....
Casting lead requires a fair bit of btu's. Aluminum or brass are far more - and iron is big time...
What would you use for a heat source?
I use coal for ingots and electric for bullets...
Looking hard at either anthracite or coke. Either one, in a forge with the right air flow, should get me enough BTUs for anything up to and including stainless steel.
