    lead flux

    I've been using "pure" plumbers lead that I bought in 2lb. ladle shaped ingots. Supplier melts lead pipe & skims the crud off the top, but I find a little still floats up in the Lee pot. I've been dripping wax in and it flares up for a few seconds, then I skim it before casting and occasionally...

    Sights on Backwards

    They were asking $450.00- I think 328 is just their inventory #. If a broker photographed and posted it and didn't catch that, I doubt they would be qualified to know if it was "unfired" either. The pics caught my eye and raised some questions. Just food for thought, good for a laugh :hmm:.

    lead flux

    Another casting question - Can the temperature of the lead have any influence on the diameter of the cast ball/bullet ? (I've only cast a few hundred rounds so far so I'm fairly new at this.) I get good results once the mold heats up and I get into a rythm, but don't have a thermometer. Thanks...

    lead flux

    Is it ok to burn a candle and let the wax drip into the molten lead to flux it ?

    maxi balls ?

    That's about where I'm at, using 70gr. of 2F or 3F, either one with 370gr. maxi. I tried maxi-hunters but they were all over the place. Round balls aren't all that bad either but the maxi was so impressive I got a mold. I keep seeing the 320 and 350gr. maxi-balls in the store and just wondered...

    maxi balls ?

    Thanks for all the info. I've always had good luck with the T/C maxi and like the weight forward design. I've really got to try some of the new ones now & see how they perform in the Renegade. It may just like them better as well! Great forum, by the way, .... a wealth of knowledge.

    maxi balls ?

    You might be onto something there....we're still paying the same price (if not more) for a box of maxi balls but getting less lead in return.

    maxi balls ?

    New to this great forum, but not to powder burners.Two part question... Anybody know why T/C went from the old 370gr. maxi ball, and all I can find on the shelf now are 320gr. ? I've got a 370 mold, just wondered why they did this, and secondly, does the lube have any function other than ease...
