Greetings!

Thanks for accepting me into the forum - my interest is primarily Late Roman and I am looking to develop my knowledge of the slings and glandes used in that period. I have a sling and a lead mould kindly given to me a fellow reenactor which is based on an actual Roman lead bullet. Pretty soon I hope to be casting more glandes and practising my skill!

Welcome from Alabama, that's in the southeastern US.

Be careful with lead, especially casting over an open fire.  The fumes from lead are no joke.  Don't cast and cook at the same fire.  The lead you spill in the fire will sublime and contaminate whatever you cook in the fire.

If possible, and if you feel like it, post pictures of your groups and their activities, this is an international forum and it's fun to see some of the adventures the members do.
