What MSalyards said ^, if you can answer his questions above we can help ya :yeah: Pouring a PERFECT Roundball should be a very simple task.
Big keys to perfect Balls, And Bullets is a VERY VERY CLEAN Mold, And getting the Mold up to Temperature, Dip the corner of the Mold in the Molten Lead for 30-45 Seconds, Aluminum molds jump up to Temp QUICKLY, Steel/Iron Molds take a little Longer, With Pure lead i like the Temp to be 675-700 Degrees.
I'll add, when good bullets are being cast - lead will need to solidify on the sprue plate for a few seconds.Ravensnest said:i HAVE ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE POURING BALLS. I GAVE UP AND STATRED BUYING THEM. THE BALLS I POUR ARE ALWAYS PITTED. I AM ABLE TO GET ONE GOOD BALL EVERY 12-20 POURS. NEED HELP.
