    Help with clogged Lee Production Pot

    explain how clean lead in a molten state at a temperature hot enough to also keep the lead melted around the pour rod and orifice can clog? I do have a Lee 4 20 ..I have had it drip on occasion but really not every session and never a gusher .. I do like the idea of the pot sitting in a...

    Set me up to cast!

    This is a good start but (I have the same pot) one caution ... if you are using lead from sources that have already melted the lead and cleaned it up and fluxed it to the point that once the ingot(s) have melted you will have a little dross on top to skim but basically the lead at the bottom...

    Triple Seven..you owe yourself a 1lb

    We are finding the 3F T7 lights off better than 2F with the fines in it and it is more energetic volume for volume compared with 3F black powder and therefore reduce the VOLUME of 3F T7 by about 6 to 8% is recommended. The above is painting with a broad brush as the firearm ANY powder is used...

    Triple Seven..you owe yourself a 1lb

    Your results if I understand your explanation correctly are that volume for volume the 777 3F you have IS NOT as powerful as the same amount of Swiss or French Black powder ??..... That is OPPOSITE of our results in the US .. FRESH 777 3F compared to Swiss Black Powder 3F volume for volume ..we...

    Triple Seven..you owe yourself a 1lb

    Well it is a surface area improvement in favor of 3F ..there is a lot more surface area (smaller grains more of them) on 50 grains of 3F for a hot spark to catch than than there is surface area of 2F at 50 grains .. think wood camp fire .. start with kindling then chunks I dare say even in Holy...

    Triple Seven..you owe yourself a 1lb

    The entire discussion is not to help sell T7.. but to inform folks that 3F T7 (not 2F)when holy black availability is not easy available ..function well in many if not most weapons Price of T7 actually closer to Swiss than it appears as T7 is hotter than Swiss by approximately 6/8% And for...
