This may seem like a dumb question to most but I am curious how the bullet makers are making their lead wire straight before they are cutting them? Through a die, pulley system, a couple of big books etc... ???

I cut it into lenghths of about 1 metre and put them on my work bench, I them get a piece of 1/2 in plank a bit longer than the lead wire and roll the wire a couple times on the bench, straightens it out in about 2 seconds.

I figured that the 22's are not as high demand as the others.

It has just been through email. Any way to get in contact with the Mrs. that you can help with?
