Well tonight I fired up my melting pot for the first time and smoked my lee mold and poured some lead. I purchased some WW ingots from a guy at the range and it was pretty clean. I don't know the hardness and I need to figure out how to get the mold heat figured out. Here is a picture of the average look of what I molded tonight. Most have a frosted look so I will search for the info on the cause of that. I had fun and thats part of this whole learning process. They dropped right out so that was good.
