Are you a lead zombie, too?

Well, the morning started off to cast about 150 38 slugs. Fired up the Lee 4-20 and filled 'er up (with an inch to spare at the top) with the correct "witch's brew" of bnh mix, and started casting using on the eight 6 cav molds I have. Figured I would just leave the extra in there for next time.

Well before I knew it, the pot was dry and I had over 500 of the little dudes! Almost like a hypnotic zombie trance had set in! pore...dump...pore.....dump......etc.

Do you guys have the same problem?????

I have six 2 cav molds in the mail to me right now and I hope that will slow me down?

NAAAAAAAAAAAAA.........!

Once I've got a good rythum going, I like to make a pile.

I don't save money, probably pay a little more. I do get to shoot a lot more for the same money though.

If I am going to to get the pot going I am going to fill it and drain it pretty low or it ain't worth the time. The funny part is with a 6 banger it don't take much time at all before you have a beautiful looking pile.

I do just the same almost boobs evenings, work all day in the restaurant, then in the evening when I get home, the first thing I do is turn on the lee 4-20 and then I dress for the casting.and I do not stop until the pot is empty.

io faccio la stesa cosa quasi tette le sere ,lavoro tutto il giorno nel ristorante ,poi la sera quando arrivo a casa ,la prima cosa che faccio ? accendere il 4-20 lee e poi mi vesto per la fusione.e non mi fermo fino a che il crogiolo ? vuoto.

Drain the pot? Not unless I'm planning on changing to a completely different mix. I always start with a full put and small ingots on the sides to preheat. As the level drops, I add ingots(watching the thermometer) or sprue to keep the pot at least 80% full. Yes, I flux fairly often, but cast until I'm tired, and not just until the level in the pot has dropped. With a 20# pot and 1/2# ingots its easy to maintain temperature while keeping th pot nearly full.

Definitely a zombie here. I have done two sessions so far (relatively recent zombie conversion) but I've managed to crank out about 1,100+ each time. It's certainly addicting.

The Zombies, They're Coming! And those boolits aren't gonna cast themselves!

When I started to cast I didn't even know of the old site that this one turned into but man I wished I would have............I would have been totally addicted at a much sooner pace.

Yep started to cast a few "test" loads next thing I know I have a gallon pal full. Hope they work like I want them to.
