[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2290499, member: 15054"] I have a lee bottom pour pot(awesome) after the mold is filled and the lead on top of the sprue cutter cools or frosts over..5-7 seconds . I open mold and water drop my bullets...They fall into a plastic container with water and a washcloth in the bottom. 7000 grains in 1 pound .. the bullets i cast today actually weigh 208grains So that is 33.6 bullets for 1 lb I just did some more... I got 472 keepers in 1 hour of casting with that 6 cavity mold.. Not going fast....as you will get leading smearing on the cutter and mold, if you go to fast and heat up the mold. You can have a damp cloth there to lay the mold on to cool every now and then .. but i just go slower instead. It would take 28.57 lbs of lead to make 1000 200gr projectiles. I have over 400 lbs of good lead [/QUOTE]
