Have some sewer pipe lead joints and some flashing ,pipe and other pure lead.
Have not given up but this is a first time not getting anything to do right.
You have enough experience for me so no problem.
never had a reason to quench cast yet so have not tried it on anything.
About the fiddling:having tried load found in a 1973 Lyman as well as number 3 and 4 books as well as load books from Alliant and IMR and Hodgon.
Loading from start load to the max and the 2 sizes but not doing more than one thing at a time.
