"OK, OK, I'm going as fast as I don't want to go!"
Ok, been around here for a while. I've done some casting but not much, mostly soft lead for my black powder 45-70 loads.
I'm ready to get serious about casting.
Just bought a Lee 358-158-RF mold. I have a standard Lee 10lb pot and a bunch of lead ingots. Most of the ingots I have, were melted down from WW or old, junky cast handgun bullets of unknown composition. I also have linotype and pewter.
So my question is, for a full 10lb pot, how much Linotype and/or pewter should I put in by weight?
These will be used on .357 and .38 Special.
Thanks in advance for advice!
Mike
