Its doable, but why would you want to do it?
I don't think it would fly very good.(because you will have flats) If you are looking to enhance penetrative capabilities for hunting or throwing through stuff, I would recommend just casting a lead gland around a piece of re-bar(round stock) and sharpening both ends to points. No need to drill holes through the re-bar, it will grip the lead sufficiently.(due to its textured nature) Make sure that the re-bar is free of rust and debris prior to casting as this will prevent a clean bond. you will also want to use a flux on the bar. I think you are pretty young, so I would recommend adult supervision, and guidance when doing anything like this. Hot lead, Poisonous flux, sharp steel = very dangerous.
Well, I did it.
It didn't work super well.
Don't try to cast around another metal- it is very hard to get a good seal.
I use NO flux.
They spin fast enough that flats don't matter.
