Did my first casting on Sunday. Got mold and pot to temp, ladled first Saeco 645 480gr double mold, waited for sprue to change, and gave bullets a little time. Expected real carp my first; however, they were perfect. Shot as cast, and all is well. Mold right on the money @ .459 and 480gr.
Question....finished up and put some 2 cycle oil on the mold for storage. Did notice a few lead flakes on inside mold. Not enough to keep it from sealing, but probably should be removed. How do I do this?
Next question, does the ladle always seem to have a coating of lead? Floated and poured fine Just wondering.
Thanks all for the education on this site.....
