I don't live far from scrap yard and have a pal who works down there. So may have a look into buying a second hand electric pot or a cast iron pot to put on a camping stove. To be honest if i had access to scrap lead i would get one in a heartbeat and would make my own ammo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now I've seen that using leads cheap enough. A can ask a pal who works down local scrap yard. But to be fair bit of a messer. So a might by a few leads of a chap over at east coast when I'm over there and give it ago. With a cast iron pot and make some moults from some decent timber put a little hinge on it. Try spend as little. They don't need to look fancy do they mate 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
