I've been casting for years. Mostly alloy WC's and Keith's, but pure lead bullets and balls for my percussion revolvers. WC's are sized and hot lubed, (Keith's get tempered, too). Percussions are shot as cast.
I found a way to speed up my casting: I keep two pots and molds going at the same time. It sounds crazy, but it seemed like I was always waiting for a pot to heat, or a mold to cool. Now, I fill one mold and put it aside, then clip, clear, refill, and set aside the other mold, then back to the first one, and so on. With multi-cavity molds and my rhythm, they cool just right to clip and clear. All the while, my other pot is warming.
