I have seen comments on the use of lead shot in casting bullets/balls, but can't right off hand remember if it was the arsenic in the shot that made it too hard, too soft, not fill out right, ad infinitum. I have had about 75# +/- of old shot that is turning white, mixed sizes, but mostly 7-1/2 (the birds prolly wouldn't know the difference) but was just wondering if it was soft enough for BP shooting. If so, I would just melt the stuff down and use this softer lead for BP, not try to blend it with tin or antimony for high speed projos. My steel bucket is about to fall apart anyway, gotta do something pretty fast.
TIA,
