New guy here, real excited to learn. I’ve reloaded for a few years but never casted. I’m hoping to melt my first pot tomorrow. I’ve read through most of the Lyman casting book. I’ve read some of the Veral Smith book. I have gloves and glasses. I’ll be set up outside , calling for sun and 50 degrees here tomorrow. I have saw dust for flux and a trip to the thrift store netted me some steel spoons today. I have some pure lead that I’m gonna cast into balls for slugging my 9mm barrels. I’ll ingot what’s left.
I’ve also got an RCBS 160 gr swc mould ready for some wheel weight ingots.
I’ll clean up these molds tonight with soap and water.
Is there any other advice or tips I should consider before I fire up the Lyman pot tomorrow?
Thank you for any and all advice.
David.
