How do you guys do it in winter? Do you empty your bucket everytime or use anti freeze to keep it from freezing? I hats having to take bucket in house and fill it up everytime I cast.

I empty the bucket every time no matter the season since I get the boolits out by pouring into an old collander.

Just pour some lead on top, that'll melt it.

i cast in my enclosed and heated garage i keep it about 55 in there.
we had a little warm spell today it got up to 18.
i lubed and sized some boolits then went and shot some others.

dumping lead into a bucket of water warms it up.
i use a small one gallon pail and a little plastic jug to pour the water into, then pour it back into the bucket after i pull the boolits out of the bucket.

The only time that I cast Boolits in the winter I used half water and about half snow. It kept the water from "splashing". Seemed to work well.
