If you cast your own bullets, you know the quality of your starting material makes all the difference. The Brownells Pure Lead Bullet Casting Metal 5Lb Ingot is 99.9% pure lead, designed to melt cleanly and pour reliably into your casting molds. Each ingot weighs approximately 5 pounds—a convenient size for serious handloaders who want to mix custom casting alloys or keep spare material on hand without excessive storage overhead.
Pure lead is the foundation for soft-point hunting rounds, plinking ammunition, and experimenting with alloy blends. Whether you're hardening with tin to achieve a specific Brinell hardness or looking for a straightforward base metal for standard cast bullets, 99.9% purity gives you predictable melting behavior and consistent results across batches. The ingots melt readily in standard casting furnaces, cutting down on prep time so you can focus on the craft of making ammunition that shoots the way you want it to.
Brownells ingots also work well beyond ammunition—many reloaders keep them on hand for fishing weights, sinkers, or other projects where pure lead is practical. Because weight is approximate, plan your recipes with a scale; a small variation ingot to ingot won't derail your powder measurements or bullet performance, but precision matters when you're dialing in loads.
| Purity | 99.9% Lead |
| Weight per Ingot | Approximately 5 pounds |
| Brinell Hardness | Roughly 5 |

Yes. The 99.9% purity and low hardness rating make it an ideal base metal for mixing with hardening agents like tin or antimony to achieve the Brinell hardness and performance characteristics your loads demand.
Weights are approximate at 5 pounds per ingot. For precise load formulation, weigh each ingot before melting and adjust your recipes accordingly.
Yes. Pure lead melts readily in typical bullet-casting furnaces, keeping your prep time short and your workflow efficient.
Absolutely. Many reloaders and outdoorspeople use pure lead ingots for fishing sinkers, weights, and other metalworking projects where pure lead is appropriate.
