I Dont currently water drop. I may water drop if i cast for my 308 or 3006. I have linotype and mootype to add in for hardness on those tho.

Is there a real benefit to water dropping? My alloy is mostly straight WW being used in a 9mm and 45acp. I understand it should raise the hardness a bit. Is it really that beneficial?

I also tried running mine about 45 to 50 pounds and 100 degrees. Works great on 9mm, still a bit...

I always wear gloves, usually the thin leather work type gloves, apron and safety glasses. I use heavy gauntlet type welding gloves when smelting.

Those of you running air on your star and use carnauba red lube, what pressure and temp are you running? I am running around 40 psi and 115 degrees. What are y'all running?
