Lodge Cookware for Casting Lead Bullets??

[Two Flints]

Hello SSS,

My wife just returned from shopping and gifted me with two pieces of Lodge Logic Cast Iron Cookware.  One is a 6 muffin cast iron tray  and the other is a cast iron pot.  Since they  are both heavy cast iron, she thinks they would be ideal for casting.  Is she right?

Yep!

Just don't cook in 'em afterwards!

I have used them in the past.  However I did read on the BP forum a while back about a guy who used a cast iron pot until one day the bottom fell out spilling a pot full of molten lead in his driveway.  Luckily he wasn't burned.

Will, I've heard of that also, but the couple of them I've heard about were ones that had been real rusty and pitted and then cleaned up.  My pard found a 16 inch shallow dutch oven at a garage sale a couple years ago that was also badly pitted, but usable or so it looked.  He tossed in the oven and hit clean, after an hour or so it went clunk and the bottom fell out.

i use a cast iron corn bread pan to pour my melted bulk lead wheel weights into. the lead "corn breads" are perfect ingot size for later melting for casting. i just have to keep the "hard lead" corn bread separate from the "soft lead" corn bread". trouble is that the pan is worth more as an antique...!?! geo.

I doubt that it is an antique, how many do you want?  You can get fishes and cacti also.
