I am just getting into lead melting and casting my own bullets. I really enjoyed watching your video and learning from what you are showing.

@Iraqveteran8888 I think you will find it pre dates that with the 9 yard long fabric machine gun belt used by the British in Africa around the Boer war.

Iraqiveteran, I have a question about fluxing. Is it ok to use old votive candles you have about the house for a source of paraffin wax for fluxing?

I have no intension of ever making a bullet. I live in england and bullet gun licence's are hard to pbtain but this vid is awsome. I always wondered how it was done.

@58sb I think the intention of this guys videos is to help and educate others and not to demonstrate business economics.

This vid is great. Thanks for keeping it real and not kowtowing to the safety sallies.
I like the comment "The whole 9 yards" . How many of you know what that pertains to? :)

@rushymoto "The whole nine yards" prefers to pilots carrying their full combat loads of ammunition in their plane. If they knew a given mission would not require a lot of ammo, they would take a small amount to save weight, but if they were going to expect heavy resistance, they would ask for "the whole nine yards" which was literally nine yards of .50 BMG belted ammo.

@58sb Well...it is what it is. I can't help it that there is a certain amount of information that has to be put out regarding the subject. People either want to learn properly or why would they bother?

HI everyone, can any one tell me, why is the WAX needed, and if we can cast lead with out it?? and why the pot has to be store with some lead left in the pot, I think that the lead will dry and become hard, is it difficult for the next time you want to use it?? THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP HAVE A NICE ONE

@ivaherre The wax is used as a fluxing agent to help draw impurities out of the lead. You leave a little lead in the bottom when you store to help keep it from rusting and to protect the small parts from moving around when not it use. The pot has to come up to temp before you use it anyways, so no big deal.
