I haven't begun smelting and forming my own bullets yet, but I was wondering if any of you have ever used a "top hat" from a construction/demolition project. They are normally found on plumbing vents on the roof of a house. I don't know what their lead content is, but they seem very soft. I've got one sitting out in my garage for a different project and it got me to thinking about it. Have any of you used it? Is it soft enough to use for hollow base bullets on a .41 long colt? I've read that 40-1 lead to zinc is best for that bullet.
