Hello guys and today we are making some lead .22 pellets, we start off by removing the teeth in the pliers, you can do this however you want, files, sandpape...

The grooves in the pellets were not deep enough and the pellets didn't group well. I learned a few things about pouring lead, like heating the mold so that the lead doesn't freeze before the lead pours into the mold. Firing the pellets from the first mold. With swagging the pellets to size, the pellets did group a little better. Target is dated

I will be trying a couple different methods when casting and swaging the pellets and will be sending the pellets to 3 Air-Gunner friends of mine for them to test as well, which will give us a total of around 15 different barrels to run these pellets through!

How to cast lead / pewter at home using what you have around you. I needed some lead balls for using in a homemade ball mill and they are too expensive to buy and I had some lead kicking around in the shed so I figured I would cast my own.
