Home Forums Reloading Bullet Casting 358 Cast Bullets and Doe Don't Mix

I THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE MIS-UNDERSTOOD ONE PART OF THE PREVIOUS POST, I cast bullets useing the lyman melter and add ingots to keep it full and collect the scrap generated by cutting the sprues FOR MELTING into ingots at a LATER time, but yeah! Im constantly dropping semi hot bullets into the 7 gallon pail full of cold water and its not been the least bit of a problem, the bullets cool almost instantly as they swirl and slide thru the water to the bottom of the 7 gallon pail. the melters on one side the pail on the other and with practice the swivel chair and I work at a repetative cycle and theres never been the least problem, bullets falling into the water just don,t splash enought to get me wet let alone past me into the melter.
obviously if you prefer to do it a differant way, then , more power to you guy, we each have our own methods and each works at least half way decent or we would have found a differant way to do things
