Hi all,
I tried today following your Lead Alloy Calculators to make the Lyman #2: 3 parts of pure lead + 1,5 parts of Lyman #2
The result was not satisfying, absolutely not: any temperature I was using, my Lyman Postells were "freezed", impossible to make them shiny and with well defined rings. Also, when I get the freezed surfaces, the bullets shrinks badly and not in a uniform way (slightly curved). But when I was melting the Lyman #2 I had not absolutely no problem with the same Postells, just watching the temperature not varying from 340° to 360°.
Any suggestion? thanks.
