I new to casting bullets and I could use some help.
I am melting and pouring with my Do-It Molds Hot Pot left over from my Jig making days.

The alloy gets pretty hot almost 800*. My bullets come out fine and they are not "frosty".

Is this to hot for casting bullets? Do I need to get the temp down and find a different melter?

Thanks
Steve
