Product Information

Avoid cheap moulds and budget copy versions of accepted brands and shapes if at all possible. Quality moulds are far easier and speedier to work with, and sheer ease of use makes any extra initial cost well worth it.

Firstly, the capacity of a lead melting pot is a thing to consider. Industrial casting and regular home pots are different in measurement. These are mainly for other quantities; additionally, if you make your ammunition, then 7 to 9 lbs should do. But for recycling, you can go for 5 kg at max. However, if users need bulk melting, then Cast Master Lead Melting Furnace GG 5000 is a good option. Almost every pot we reviewed here has a high capacity from 4 to 11 lbs. Rcbs has a capacity of ten pounds for melting any kind of metal. But for mold making or lube products, you need to be more careful. Create different precision bullets for adaptable blending and heavy mixing. We would say it’s more suitable for ammunition. Did you know RCBS has had a reputation for reloading ammo since 1947? Lead exposure can cause permanent brain damage in children and unborn fetuses. Avoid working with lead if you’re pregnant or nursing.

We get asked very often by people that are new to reloading, what equipment they require to start with.

Another furnace to look out for is the Rcbs lead melting pot. Now it might not be as up to Lee Precision 90949 Magnum Melter, but it does an excellent job of mixing. Let’s look into its features more to understand its best qualities below. When the leads have cooled trim off the excess sprue where the lead has been poured in with side-cutters and you’re ready to put the grip wires in. The finished article is then ready to fish with. Once you’ve mastered pouring lead weights it’s an easy step to move onto casting pirks or leadheads from more specialized moulds. Breathing in lead dust can be harmful. Wear your respirator and goggles while cleaning your workplace and tools.Our 220V melting pots do not ship with a plug on the electric cord. Every country has a unique plug, so you will be responsible for purchasing and attaching a plug. Usually, if users need to melt metal in small quantities, an open hearth furnace should do. As Lee Precision 90949 Magnum Melter Furnace has good quality for face-melting, it should be good. Remember, it has a large four inches diameter pot capacity. The furnace doesn’t come with our capability but is for ladle casting. Air trapped inside cavity: This can occur with a new, very tight mould. Test by placing a small piece of paper between the surfaces of the mould. A small corner of an adhesive label or gummed paper, like the seal on an envelope or corner of a postage stamp, will serve very well for this purpose by temporarily adhering to the moulds’ surface. The paper will not allow the mould to close absolutely tight, and this small gap will permit air to escape from the cavity. If complete castings are obtained, leave the paper in place until the mould is broken in (usually 100-200 castings) and then remove it.
