I cast 175 tonight with my son, dropping in a quenching bucket.dlbleak was generous enough to pass on some lead to us to cast with and man are we having a ball with it! We've actually really enjoyed the process of turning WW lead into bullets. we both agree that the lubing part sucks, setting them out to dry overnight sucks, but thats a part of the deal. Learned the hard way that we need to use wax or freezer paper instead of paper towels to let the lube 'cure' otherwise you end up with paper towel on the bottom of every bullet (again, sucks). I can say we are hooked. enjoying the process is actually more important that the end result right now. that may change, but for now it's keeping us going. So, does anyone see a problem with leaving a the pot full of weight and letting it cool? I don't have an ingot mold yet, so thats what I did (hope this wasn't a mistake). I assumed that since the lee directions say that leaving a few inches of metal in the pot after a session will speed the melting process next time, leaving a whole pot wouldn't be a problem. is this a correct assumption?</blockquote>
