pie-eater 377 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 I had a lee mould years age, used to turn out perfect lead balls and I could make 100s in no time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can it get hot enough to melt Ali or just lead ? Certainly looks the bollacks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave88 1,565 Posted March 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 It's been a pain in the arse lately trying to make ammo...I don' have a shed or man cave and was having to sit in the garden using a little camping cooker and pan like most...as soon as the wind picked up it became a right ball ache, blowing the flame out or blowing it about so the heat under the lead wasnt consistent...so treated myself to one of these. I looked into melting Ali with and it doesn' quite get hot enough apparently 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dave88 1,565 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 The mold was £23 and the melting pot was £77...a fair chunk of change I know but worth it in my opinion mate. Used it the other day for the first time and it's the dogs dangleys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
