from my side there is no buy in it was only a sugestion thrown open to all on here as maybe like me there may be people looking for a challange   i have given prices of lead and turning it into shot by the long drop method then the retail price of shot makes it a nearly double your money job on a daily basis to run that in say 4 days a month and make over 10k per month is not dreaming   i can say no more   put it this way   what do you think about brexit and maybe your answer is there     cheers george

ok start by doing a bit home work a lift would be needed to lift 20 kilo ingots up 70 meters     if you get time  do a bit pricing theres a lift maker in north hampton up the side of there tower i dont know what you call them    but theres a start for furnace about 10k  wots best gas or electric     got to be power on the site   then the altering a water bath and a chain drive buckets to scoop the shot out with very small holes in buckets to let water out   then a grader  for shot sizes    it can be done   believe me

I was wandering if a tar burner would work as a furnece. By my math 60 gallon would hold 2.8 tons of lead. And some of them have side pour spouts.
