    I saw this once before, but so long ago I had forgotten what it was, and really didn't know what I was looking at when I saw your photo. Really amazing! Thanks.

    They are melting and pouring aluminium, not lead.

    I see how you get the base on the casting. After you dig it out for the pour do you give them time to clean out the tunnels so the flow is good?
    Reloading to save money I am sure the saving is going to start soon
