8 ga round ball

[charlie cleveland]

today i fired up my old gas grill and found me a old aluminum cooking pot and melted down 2 lbs of lead..the old grill had twoopen cooking eyes so i put the pot one one and after the lead had melted i tried pouring it in the mold with no sucsess..i had forgotten that the mold needs to be as hot as the lead..the next attemt was good i then made 12 balls befoe i had to quit..but i m back in the groove as they say..a person needs to be carefullmelting and pouring lead..i had a fan blowing away the funes and safety glasses on and a good pair of leather gloves..you must take safety precautions doing this...ant way i m back to shooting the old gun for accuracy again. my target was at 25 long steps i only had 2 loads made so anyway i shot from the sitting position old 8 was shooting a little high..but would have hit the deer... gotta load upthese 12 balls and do some more practice... charlie
