Not for sure about what you have BUT if you get zinc in your lead melt, the melt will look like oatmeal mush. Pure lead melts at 621*'s and zinc melts at 800 something *'s. I think your original melt had some zinc in it. Zinc is harder than lead also. Pure lead at 800*'s plus takes on a purple like hue if that'll help you decide about the temperature of your melt. Good luck and if it was me, I'd chuck that stuff away and stick with pure lead for special shoots and REAL wheel weights I.E lead ones for the plunking and blasting trips.
