Make sure your mold is pre heated so those ripples and deformities don’t happen

Awesome thanks, I was wondering how to fix that 👍

Lee makes handles for that mold! You need to scrub that mold with soapy water to remove the machining oil, and lube the alignment pins and sprue cutter pivot with 2 stroke oil. Preheat your mold blocks to 350F and run the pot temp up to 8 or 9 for pure lead. A little (1-3%) tin solder or pewter added to the lead will help it fill out the mold. You need to beware of lead exposure if you continue with lead shot. The dross (lead oxide powder) that you skim off the molten metal is particularly bad. Dispose of it carefully in the trash. Don’t touch your face and wash your hands after handling the lead. Consider powder coating your shot to reduce exposure as well. Come over to the Cast Boolits forum (it’ll pop up if you google it) for all your lead casting questions. Great folks, they’ll have you casting perfect shot in no time!

You done good. When I was shooting blackpowder rifles, I thought about casting round lead ball in .50 cal. Life got in the way.

Great video! I've been using a .395 cal Lee double mold for making 10.03mm lead ammo (about 6g). Never seen the 357 cal molds so good to know! BTW you can get handles for the mold to open! Watch out for contaminates on your lead, get a old long metal spoon to lower in lead after the first melt. It's about 600 - 800oC in the pot, so water expand x1,600 on contact. Oil residue even more, so only takes tiny amout to splash some lead.

@jayedannholmes63675 күн бұрын
The shooting distance in a slingshot tournament is 32 feet. Start close, say 10 feet and shoot at a 4 centimeter about 1.5 inches and when you can hit it 10 out of 10 times move back to 15 feet and so on. Until you can hit the target 10 out of 10 times from 32 feet away, and then you can hit anything.

Try a 17mm to 25mm taper with your bands it decreases the draw weight a lot without taking away to much speed helps with heavier setups

Preheating the mould and ensuring the metal is properly fluxed helps prevent deformities. I would also sincerely recommend wearing heavy duty appropriate eye protection and clothing to cast molten metals and not shorts, bare feet and thin short sleeved shirts. Just in case your hands burn and you reactively jump risking knocking or dropping molten metal over you. More a common sense recommendation so that others might learn after watching your presentation.
