    The slugs will be going into an extrusion die to make wire, and then processed further to make jacketed bullets - so do really need to be round
    Seamless pipe would be ideal

    The idea of alloy was that once the lead had solidified, the heat in the alloy tube would allow the billets to fall/be tapped out due to expansion of the tube

    Good in theory?
