[QUOTE="Hooper, post: 4368545, member: 46111"] 10-4 I see. You are on a commercial melting level. I just thought you were looking to cast a few bullets as a pastime. You need a large forge or a real large kiln. It would take you a couple of months every evening to melt that in my operation. I thought I was really cutting a fat hog, able to make a 1000 or so bullets in a few hours work. You are next level. Of course you know this already about time constraints. You need to go out there in arkansas where one of the Remington ammo plants are located and sub out to them. Sounds like you have the ability to build a shop forge with your knowledge about lead. With steel and fire bricks or something of that nature. Propane or Acetylene for fuel and a shot of pure O2. and a wind turbine, you would look like USS Steel melting Iron. If I were younger and more mobile, I would get into forging steel. I just don't have that kind of stamina to stay out in a shop all day any more. I think a man can build one fairly reasonable, with some ingenuity. A ton of youtube info on forge building. For a temporary setup you can get some oxy/acetylene pressure gauges to increase pressure of gas and add oxygen for real heat. I alternate with Propane and Acetylene with my Gas gauge, I have both type tips to cut with. New iron or light gauge metal I use propane, Heavy or dirty steel I use Acetylene. Meltin my 30 lbs of linotype I use the fryer burner. I see gauges at pawn shops all the time for sale. I personally will not use a gauge that someone has pawned. I go to a professional welding supply to get mine rebuilt or purchase new if they leak or anything. I would try a new one from Harbor freight though, if I needed one. My stuff is Victor mostly. Also you can build a really hot directional fire with just propane no added Oxygen. a propane orifice, a piece of heavy 2 inch pipe, black plumbing pipe, you just have to rig a way to regulate air, hence you have a Home made weed burner. I used to have one laying around. Propane got so high, and roundup is cheap so I don't need one any more. Well I am done spitballing, Hope it gives you an idea for your mission. Good Luck sir.
