Just cast some 500g Lyman HB 58 cal bullets of pure lead couldn't get the skirt to fill out at the temp. I am use to casting at. So I turned the pot up as far as it will go 800F and cast until it was hot in my shop, finally got 50 excellent bullets. They are really to pretty to shoot but I will suffer through and shoot them.
I went ahead and cast some 58 cal real bullets and some 50 cal while I was hot. Think I will wait for cooler weather to cast more of them. I have an old Lyman castmaster pot that has had the bottom pour stopped up to do my pure lead, so I had to ladle them which is hot anyhow.
