Anyone on here cook their own bullets?
I got a ship load of pennies I need to do something with and wonder if the copper alloy is suitable for bullet casting.

No. You can't cast copper like lead.


No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

So much for that SHTF idea. I guess I'll stock up on tire and fishing weights.

From 1982 on, they only have 2.5% copper. They are primarily zinc


If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

No , but get you some wheel weights and give it a go. I love doing it saves me a lot of money and I really like plinking with them. Never run out of bullets
