    Less space, easy handling and storage, quick and easy weigh outs, and getting #1 price for my #2 copper.
    i thought the whole idea of casting your own molds was to make more money... a lot more money.
    i read one of gustavus post awhile ago about casting aluminum molds to sell on ebay for $10+/lb. (or so i thought)

    ok, i know a mold isn't exactly an ingot but if you're going to go through the trouble of melting metal then why not produce something many people will want.
