[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2477600, member: 30309"] As long as the pot is kept at about 650, the zinc won't be a problem. If the zinc contaminates the lead, it causes the molten metal to "wrinkle" in the mold. Bullets or sinkers, same result. The trick is pot temperature control (or mechanical separation of the lead head from the zinc body). Based on the work involved, they may not be worth it either way. [/QUOTE]
