To dunk right into the casting pot, or do I have to smelt it too? Splurged on a 5 lb bar of it, I am assuming a 10 pot pot will have no trouble melting it down, and casting straight from there.
Well, almost ready. Getting antsy. I figure that by July 6th I might be casting my first boolits - notice, I spelled it "right"...:-D
BTW, will 99% lead work with the 158gr 358 boolit I want to cast, as a light target load? I'llwait to cast high performance boolits until I get the 158gr LSCHP mold, wherever I can find it.
