Nyghtfall,

I see this is only your 4th post; Welcome to the Forum. You came to the right place since we have many very knowledgeable folks here who will be glad to assist.

Yes, a camp stove will melt lead, #2 Alloy or whatever else needs melting to make bullets. My casting camp stove has lots of lead spatters and has done fine by me for 30 years. Be sure to cast outdoors to avoid bad fumes, wear eye protection to prevent injury from spatters and use heavy gloves and long sleeves to prevent burns.

I like casting as much as shooting the resulting product of casting efforts. Keep pets and small kids away from the hot lead. The Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook is a good source of guidance on casting matters.

Adam
