So I like to shoot cast in my 44s and my 38 special, and have been planning on casting my own for several years. Have slowly accumulated some lead, and a few used molds, a lee 10 lb pot and an rcbs dipper.
Got some wheel weights from someone getting out of casting, and finally tried it out the other day! Fluxed with sawdust and stirred with a paint stick, scooped off the impurities on the surface and had some good lookin lead to work with.
Have never moulded lead before other than plug weights in tubing caps, so fill out is something I need to think about, as well as getting my cadence down so I don't heat up the little molds too fast, or let the big 6 cav lee 240 grn 44 cool off too much.
I wasn't going for perfection right out of the gate, but I have some shootable boolits first time around with not too many culls. Gotta get a sizer and figure out powdercoat, but I'm on my way!
