Nice job!
Making shot is a lot more finicky than many realize. Most home made shot I've seen was 30% deformed pellets or more. You must have your process nailed.
Got any tips for a guy that just built one. Haven't turned it on yet, too cold. I ordered drippers from oasis, the rest is cut and weld. What are you using for coolant? Wal-Mart girl looked at me a bit when I bout 7 gallons of fabric softener. Got my ramp polished, sprayed with graphite. I also built a shelf above ladle that hold my lee pot, figure it can't hurt to fill with premelted lead. My lead is from pistol range, melted, cleaned, in 1 lb bars. Any tips would be great.
Would there not be antimony in pistol bullets?
