I have about 150 lbs of Clean cast bullet alloy spews and culls from cleaned ingots I smelted 2 years ago and have been using.
I like to run my pot with clean smelted ingots and do not add spews back into my pot.
I would like to re-smelt these sprews & culls and re-clean the alloy and make new fresh ingots but I have a question on "depletion". Do I need to add more tin ( or anything else) to the sprews to get them back to where the original alloy was? or is the depletion factor negligible? The highest I ever run my pot is 730 deg
Thanks
