Had a some lead in a new Lee melting pot. First time using the pot.
Well anyway a hundred ball is normally what I run at a time.
I ran 60, .54 ball in a Lee mold. I would run twenty and put it aside, then I ran ten ball in a Callahan.440 mold, then ten in a Callahan .60 mold. Ten is about all you can do before it’s too hot to hold.
Then repeated till I had 60, .54; 40 .45s and 40 20bore.
I don’t weigh the ball, I reject frosty,wrinkled or visible hole anywhere. Mostly in the sprue.
I rejected 6 from the Lee, 4 from the Callahan 45,and 0 from the twenty bore.
Good equipment that says I.
