CAUTIONS:
• Never allow moisture near molten lead as when introduced to lead, a volatile steam
explosion occurs and molten lead is sprayed not only out over immediate area but also
all over the bullet caster. This moisture could be introduced by a wet ladle or dipper, wet
lead added to the pot, condensation from overhead pipes or many other ways.
• In no case attempt to touch the furnace while in...

POWDER MEASURE
Clean the Measure
After unpacking the #55 measure the entire unit

lead to charging errors.
Setting the Measure

free from any loose powder grains before attempting to
use it. If the slides cannot be pushed in to register zero

cleaned. The zero line should be even with the...
