[QUOTE="Decoy, post: 533567, member: 17310"] tumble it in a small cement mixer full of water, basically use it like a tromell, keep shovelling the blue metal mix in the led will settle at the bottom and excess blue metal and brass will fall out over the lip of the mixer. You will still be left with mostly lead and jacketed projectiles with brass and a bit of blue metal and maybe dirt. let it fully dry before melting it, if you drop a scoop in and it has moisture/water it will splatter spray the molten lead. The brass, copper, dirt and blue metal remaining will float on top of the lead and you can scoop it with a ladle with holes drilled in it. [/QUOTE]
