Can you use lead shot to cast bullets?
I understand that zinc contamination in lead dramatically increases the meniscus and yields unuseable bullets. It would seem that alloys in the pellet lead would also be designed for not only hardness, but to have a high surface tension to facilitate the specialized casting process, and render it unuseable for bullet casting. Is this correct?
