Its been 20 years since I cast bullets. Being older, wiser and perhaps mostly a little more discretionary funds, I’ve jumped back in with a Master Caster. I’ve got a lot of raw linotype. Based on what I am reading, it appears the accepted practice is to make ingots and then use those in your caster. The ingots themselves are processed in a separate melter. Is this so you’re running a “dirty” and “clean” pot? Processing the raw pb and fluxing in a dirty pot to keep the crud out of the casting pot?
