Hey guys...
I cant seem to find any literature on this subject. Heres what I have compiled so far...can you guys teach me some more. Also...correct me if my info is wrong please : )
Pro's of water
-Cools off the boolits faster
-Makes the boolits harder
-Prevents deformation
Con's of water
-If you drop a poorly casted bullet into water it must be TOTALLY dried off before it can be put back into the pot, unlike cotton where you can just put it back in
-You have water near the melt, splashing the water with dropped boolits raises the risk...
Pro's of cotton
-Less materials needed, boolits dont have to be dried off later
-Mess ups can be put back into the pot immediately
-Yields softer lead if expanding is desired
Con's of cotton
-More likely to get bullet deformation
-Takes longer to cool off
What say ye?
Thanks fellas
