What Lead Temperature Do You Use to Cast Pellets?

[Wayne52]

I swear by pressure pouring myself Robert and pure lead makes a big difference also.  No shortcuts for small projectiles.  I've even tried mixing 10 JSB's in with a pure lead pot and can tell the difference when trying to pour and the small amount of antimony that's in those pellets makes more than a small amount of difference when pouring.  If you're mixing tin with pure lead you need to turn the temp down too because if you don't you'll get whiskers.  Pure lead is better on airgun barrels too, it's a natural lubricant and if you break in a gun with pure lead projectiles you won't have to be cleaning the barrel as much if at all.  I haven't bought commercial pellets in probably over 5 years except for 1 tin of .177's because there's no .177 molds to be had.
