thanks to all the help here i finally cast my first boolits today
I was hoping to get with a freind to show me the ropes before i dove in, however being the
impatiant cuss that i am, i could not hold out any longer. I cast with straight ww lead as i have nothing else
to add to the mix yet. My setup is a lee 4-20 pot, lee mold.
I turned the heat all the way up to melt 4lb. Of ww lead. After it was a molten puddle i fluxed with a pinch of wax
and turned it down to number 6. I do not have a thermometer yet.
Was funny because i have read that the pots sometime drip. Well before i started casting i looked down and there
was a small puddle and i was thinking great here we go
However that was all that dripped, worked perfect after that.
I only casted 10 and i let a freind cast 4 and i water qenched them. My first couple cast were not to great but after that they started looking much better. I loaded up 8 rounds to try tomorrow, hand lubed with lla.
A few dissapointments but will save those for other topics.
I cant beleive the casting part was so easy and i'm pleased with my first try.
Overall i am a happy camper, or is it happy caster, i actually feel like i belong on this forum now
