How to Cast Lead .22 Pellets!
Ғылым және технология
Hello guys and today we are making some lead .22 pellets, we start off by removing the teeth in the pliers, you can do this however you want, files, sandpaper or whatever tools you have, I chose to then remove the ends of the pliers to make them easier to use, and remove the pellets from, then you need to drill a 5.5mm hole, use a clamp to hold them straight and together, then you'll need to melt some lead! You can do this by using an old pan on a stove, just be careful of any fumes, and I would reccomend doing it outside!

show us the finished pellet .
When I lived in South America I saw people that had bought rolls of .22 caliber lead wire. They nipped off chunks with side cutters and shot them through air rifles.
Wow! I’ve never seen such precision machine work ! Love that springer!
Love the bit where he looks around to where his mum is lol
I enjoyed the video and dug the pallet furniture. How accurate can u group these pellets. I would be impressed if they could group an inch at 20 yards
What a great idea , I've been looking at molds costing 300 bucks or more it's crazy what some manufacturers want , I would take more care in the process and maybe make a way to clean then up a bit while still semi molten , have you tried cleaning up the tabs while still molten , just take a putty knife and hit the tops with it right after you pour , anyway you thought outside the box and took me with you , I got a lot of ideas from this , if indeed I do make my own or have any mods I will for sure do a shout out and give you credit for sparking ideas
What was the range when shot the fire? Your pallet furniture is a great idea. And quick to make.
As a last resort it is a good idea. Kind of slow but good idea. Do not breath the lead fumes, they are bad for your health. So do it outdoors. Also avoid direct contact with skin

You can't breathe the lead fumes, what's evaporating are oil and other residues. Lead evaporation starts from 1749 °C, 3180 °F,. You shouldn't eating anything when handling lead and wash hands afterwards with soap or better dedicated washing stuff for lead cleaning. And also not breathing the powder from grinding lead.

Yeah, honestly it reminded me of the scene in "The Patriot" when he is melting toy soldiers to make musket balls.
This is familiar because I used to get my pellets I shot melt them down and then shoot them again but they were never accurate in the slightest
Man the hassle just out weighs the benefit
I also wonder if this could be done for .25 pellets or are they getting to large for this type of casting

Have you ever chronyd them? I have a 44 fpe .22 Walther PCP and did the same shit (with a 2.5 mm hole through the middle and a nail to make hollowpoints). The rifling grabs the whole length of the pellet thus slowing it down immensely. Mine are 25.5 gr and they fire at about 760 fps - normally I´d get 860 from a pellet of this weight, so I lose 100 feet to friction. I can´t imagine what the speed would be in a 12 fpe springer...

I don't have a Chronograph but I would be really interested to see how they perform, I thought about making a slightly altered mouldt that allows for a hollow part in the back so it can deform more to engage the rifling :)

Interesting approach. I would recommend a drill press whenever possible. And just as an FYI, while it's always stressed to wash your hands after handling lead (yes it's important), the single biggest source (medically speaking) of systemic lead poisoning is inhalation. So, always wash with soap and water, and always have Good Ventilation. Do that, and handling lead isn't an issue. Of course some like to use nitrile gloves, and that's fine, but good handwashing with soap and water will work, as long as your hands stay away from your mouth until wash-up time - i.e. no drinking, eating, smoking, gum chewing, or etc.

@@Polo_CJR - ??? No proof? Sorry, you are wrong about that. Back when lead was still used in gas, parking lot attendants had high lead levels - to the point it was considered an occupational hazard. Indoor firing range operators also had high lead levels persistently. Neither group handled lead, but were in areas where lead would be airborne for significant periods of time. Removal of lead from gas has eliminated the occupational hazard of high lead levels of parking lot attendants, and mandatory air scrubbing has eliminated lead in Indoor range operators. Also, took care of a patient who had persistently high lead levels. He was a reloader. Swore up and down he was washing his hands and avoiding eating and drinking while at the bench. Come to find out, he was a tobacco chewer. Since he didn't eat or drink tobacco, he truthfully said he avoided drinking and eating. Tobacco got added to the list of things to avoid, and his lead levels came down. The only other intervention was washing his hands well with soap and water after a stint at the bench. Mercury is the only heavy metal I'm aware of that will absorb through skin, and it does this by readily compounding with skin cells. The only way to get lead through the skin is through a cut. Large, small, micro, it requires a cut. That leaves inhalation and ingestion as the primary routes to get lead into the body. Bullet fragments from getting shot aren't usually a problem because the body walls them off with scar tissue, but if anything breaks that scar tissue down, then bullet fragments can become a source, but that's a rarity, not a rule. The biggest problem with lead in the bloodstream is that it enters the body more easily than the body can get rid of it. Yes, the body can eliminate lead, but it's a very slow process and takes a long time. If you keep adding exposure, the lead levels will keep climbing. So, I repeat, good handwashing with soap and water is required when handling lead. Do that and there isn't any reason to be afraid of handling lead. Want to use gloves? Be my guest. Nothing wrong with that approach, but good handwashing after is fine. I know of someone else who uses a lab coat when at the bench. Takes it off before picking up his kids. That's also a valid approach. I'll repeat lead is a problem when it gets into the bloodstream. That can happen easily through the lungs and stomach. It DOESN'T happen easily otherwise, and good handwashing with soap and water will remove any lead molecules from the skin - which is why lead has been used "without any problems" since (1800's - nope. Since before Christ).

Just make sure you don't get zinc in your lead. That causes casting problems.

You can cast anything you can melt but other metals are more expensive. Tin is easy to melt . Tungsten too but you are looking at high costs , I guess you might try melting aluminum cans and using aluminum for non lead
Wow. Excellent stuff. Looks like you covered all safety aspects. Good engineering. A new idea on a target. Light a fire in front of a high pressure can? Just one little something I'd like to add which will help you and mostly other people too. For christ sake sell your gun and and do the real shooting fraternity a real favour. Maybe take up bird watching. Real air gunners do not need to be told DO NOT SHOOT CATS.
Umm this really works ok. Not match grade but ok it's all I ask?

@Brean Targaryen You're not cooking the lead long enough. That's the impurities in the lead, which will separate entirely when lead is cooked long enough at the right temperature. I went to a trade school for plumbing -- we had to cast iron pipe w/ lead & the instructor would Jimmy them to test

When you start to see separation, always scrape the impurities out & stir occasionally to make sure there none at the bottom
