I went to a diff ingot mold for diff alloy, just easier to check at a glance. Some channel iron mold for clip ww, pure lead goes into the 1# RCBS or Seaco or what ever, then range scrap into a custom Glockpost mold I picked up years ago. I know instantly what I am grabbing to put in the pot.
If you weld or know someone, angle or channel iron is cheap in the scrap bin. Cut it, weld it, put a handle or tab on it for vise grips.
