Classic understatement!Wouldn’t want to get hit by either.
If you add just a bit of tin it will cure your fill out problems.The round balls are much Easier to cast. I have Andes 10lb Lee pot that I keep full of pure lead and recently wired around the thermostat on it so it’s full heat as soon as it’s plugged in. I’ve found that you have to have pure lead pretty hot to get lube grooves and minor skirts to fill out well.
Yes, I know. My most common used alloy is 20:1 for most of my handgun and low pressure rifle bullets. For muzzle loading, pure lead is the best to use.If you add just a bit of tin it will cure your fill out problems.
Well not really, what is it you think the tin is going to do? Other than fill out the mold better.Yes, I know. My most common used alloy is 20:1 for most of my handgun and low pressure rifle bullets. For muzzle loading, pure lead is the best to use.
Hes locked into his Para-dime, its most likely a waste of time to try to explain it to him. I hesitated with him saying he bypassed the lead pots thermostat.A bit of tin does wonders for mold fill out but with the little you need to add, minimal hardness.
Sorry you wasted your precious time with me.Hes locked into his Para-dime, its most likely a waste of time to try to explain it to him. I hesitated with him saying he bypassed the lead pots thermostat.
His chart is wrong wrong wrong.
Right from, the Cast Bullet Association.
Tin will also increase the BHN of lead as for every additional 1% of Tin the BHN increases 0.3.
It matters not what you think son, I'm well versed in casting layer free, void free and frost free bullets.Sorry you wasted your precious time with me.
I may not know everything, but I know who is worth listening to and I know how to recognize a pompous ass that isn't with my time! I’ll let you figure what category you fit into.
