Man, when I was teaching Auto Shop, I used to give all my lead to one of the custodians to make bullets and fishing weights! I must have given him hundreds of pounds over the years. Damn! Tim you need a hood and exhaust fan if you are going to cast. We don't want you sucking in all the lead fumes

I have an area that will be well vented if I start. jUst one more thing to consume my time with.

If you go with the Lee furnace with the bottom pour, the temp dial is kinda inconsistent and your lead may be too hot during your casting. I find that the level 7 setting works well if you add lead bars as you work. Produces a good, smooth bullet.

 

I had another lead explosion this time. Not nearly as bad as my first but still made me jump.
