Looks Like I found the right place . Hope you guy's don't mind helping dummies?
Bought my little Lee melting pot with the spout under it and a double cavity .454 and double cavity .380 round ball molds for shooting out of my Remington .44 and my new navy1851 .36 Colt.
I have some really clean lead that is in the form of some old conicals a guy gave me and some old balls that didn't turn out quit right . I'm guessing there's 20 lbs of it.
After melting how long can can I let this stuff sit in my Lee pot without screwing it up? The pot holds #10 of lead and I was going to melt the lead tonight and maybe heat it back up and do some casting tomorrow. Will it hurt anything to set it outside on my porch to melt it? It's down to about 40 here today.
Thanks for any info you may want to share and have a happy and safe New Years everyone.
