About 20 years ago I toyed with bullet casting. I was given some pure lead, and a batch of wheel weights. I cast both up into ingots, marked them appropriately with a permanent marker, and then began a life with children. For all of this time, the ingots have sat outside in the weather. Needless to say, the permanent marker is now all worn off and the ingots are quite weathered. Is there a relatively easy way that I can determine which ingots are pure lead and which are wheel weight material? Now that the boys are out of the house, I am beginning to cast bullets. However, I need to know the difference between the two. I do not want to run .41 mag bullets that are pure lead, obviously.
