melting old Berry bullets

I have quite a few "pulled" Berry bullets over the years. Can I melt them in my lead pot along with regular lead?

Unlike my norm of trying first and finding a problem (like I'll ruin my lead pot)I thought I'd ask.

Any input appreciated.

  I think it will work great as long as you can see some lead on the bullets. If still totally enclosed in copper I don't the lead could melt out. Smack them with a hammer to split the copper open a little. A good beeswax flux fire on top of the pot will help.

  that's what I do on bullets I find at the range. If no lead showing I tumble the bullets, size and shoot since on the ones that show no lead are unharmed.
