Very cool slings,and a LOT of lead

You should try to make a gang mold so you can cast many glans at once. Also as lead is expensive,if you could find a nice big wall,were you could sling lead,you should be able to find most of it.If you sling them for distance,i would advice you to paint them black.You can see them much better in flight,and longer,as if they were grey lead.If you start mass producing glandes i would also suggest doing it outside,maybe wearing a mask ,and definitely put on some rubber\leather gloves when you cut of the sprue from the lead.If you cast a lot of glandes,and cut a lot of lead,handling will make your fingers black from the lead,and it's bad for ya.
One last suggestion.Make the mold to fit perfectly,otherwise you have to cut a LOT of flashing,and it goes MUCH slower,and handling lead for long is bad,hence the gloves suggestion.
