I Had No Idea - 03/09/16
So my new casting furnace came today and that thing can melt 20 pounds of lead in a third of the time my old 10 pound pot can. The bottom pour is really nice once you get the hang of it and have it adjusted for the size of the cavities in your mould. The hot plate works even better than I imagined and getting beautiful bullets with sharp edges is a lot simpler.
I got a Lee 55gr 224 mould and some gas checks too. So I try it ll out and casting the little 55 gr 22s is a lot simpler than the 350 gr 45s. Cast a big handful of the little guys and powder coated them but I had no idea just hoe little they would be and how putting on gas checks could be so hard with sausage fingers.
