I've been loading for a long time and thought I'd try casting to save $$. I recently bought some lead from a yard sale deal. Ingots marked RCBS. I ran a couple and cast my 1st lead today. Some came out real nice - shiny. Some are dull. Curious about the type of lead I melted and why the difference.
I smoked my new mold and pre-heated before I started. Also I'm not sure what setting the pot should be set to. It's a Lee and I had it on Number 8.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
