Lead Ingots | Ideal Size 2 Lbs Each Ingot 99.9% Pure Lead by Baja Lead

This is indeed lead, atomic number 82, falling right between Thallium and Bismuth on the Periodic table; with a melting point of 327 °C and a density of 11 g/cm3, this substance is particularly suited for casting fishing weights, musket balls, and other projectiles.Showed up VERY well packaged: shrink wrap about a quarter inch thick around double layers of cardboard. I feel a bit bad for the mail handlers who go to pick up a fairly small box only to find it weighs twenty pounds.

Mine was sent fedex instead of usps and I actually got it

Its lead. It melts into bullets. What else can be said?

Just what son wanted

They were wrapped up well in layers of plastic wrap and tape, surrounded by paper wrap and then inside a durable box. Aside from the shipping getting delayed I'd say these are as advertised. One weighed 2 pounds 5-1/4 oz and the other weighed 2 pounds 5-3/4 oz. I did a scratch test with a 12 BHN bullet (red lube) an 8-10 BHN bullet (white lube) and pure lead 5 BHN round ball. The 12 BHN and 8-10 BHN bullet easily gouged the ingot. The pure lead 5 BHN round ball was almost a tie with the ingot winning out slightly, and some lead transfer from the round ball depositing, but it is very close. I haven't cast with it yet but I'm sure it will work well for what ever projectile I intend to make or mix alloy for. They dent easily when dropped so if that matters don't drop them.

good quality, uniformed casting. prefect for my use - I'm making spines "Duck" for lofting a canoe design.

I ordered 10 of the 5 pounders and used Gorilla glue to attach them to the top of our community dumpster to keep out the raccoons. My idea worked perfectly; the raccoon buffet is now permanently closed for business!!

Pure soft lead especially for bullets.
