Does the quality of the lead in your cannonballs not bother you?
As long as it weighs close to the weight you want are you really good?
I have noticed more and more cannonballs being sold online, which I'd do myself. But I have noticed many of them are made of really pour quality lead full of babbit and other alloys. Tire weights and just general recycled meltable metals. It got so bad I won't even take other cannonballs on trade as one bad ball can ruin an entire pot of lead.
Does this not bother you?
Can you tell?
Ever seen the balls that have a whiteish finish to them? Not clean lead
Ever hit your balls with a hammer LOL if they sound tinny they are not made of clean lead.
Ever seen those really shinny balls they almost look chromed..... Again not clean lead
What makes you buy dirty lead balls? The price
I know some guys really don't care.
Sure there's no such thing as a pure lead ball but some of these recycled so call lead cannonballs suck.
I am picky when buying lead yet the guy that walks in behind me will take anything that melts. I just don't get it.
