new to casting boolits. just cast some nice ones. did a lot of reading first.
melted:
2 pounds of kester 60/40 heated to 750 f before adding the roto metals
1 pound of rotometals no3 super tough babitt
1 pound of linotype
4 pounds of wheel weights
melted them in that order. heated to 800 and fluxed. casted at 760 degrees.
NOE aluminum 4 boolit mold at 340 degrees carboned.
used half of the alloy as boolits the rest is an ingot till its tested for hardness and shot. can mark it with thumbnail but not dig in.
boolit mold is 280 grain actual weight of boolits is 15 grams/227 grains.
