Hey Folks,
I've been casting for about 5 years, so I have a good handle on how to cast with 1 or 2 cav molds.
But I shoot about 10-12k per year.
I decided to get smart & buy a couple of 6 cav molds.
Seems like a different world!
I have a Lee 10lb bottom pour furnace.
It works GREAT for the 2 cav molds.
But not so much with the 6ers.
After pouring 10 times, my bullets still were all wrinkled (too cold).
I went back to the 2cav & 3 pours later I was getting perfectly formed bullets or should I say boolits.
I need to add tin, right?
But how much? where can I find a cheap source?
By the way, I'm using straight wheel weights.
If what I've read is correct, this should be giving me a BHN of around 9, is that correct?
I can't imagine this isn't a sticky, but I couldn't find it.
Thanks.
