I can save you money! To degrease the cores just use plain 70% isopropyl alcohol rubbing alcohol from Walmart. 90% works and drys quicker but costs too much. I use the rubbing alcohol to clean and degrease works fine. Can add drops of soap for very heavy but rinse with the pure.

Some of the really old black powder rifles were that big. Also there are people who are licensed to make prototype canon projectiles.

Fascinating! Thank you for making this series.

very informative, have not figured it out yet, will keep following

Not so much faster but way cheaper. The only problem I have found with casting cores is finding soft enough lead to work with. Wheel weights are about the limit....I prefer the tape on weights...those are pure lead.

If you're going to boil them to remove the grease make sure you don't use a cooking pot. Somehow I doubt you'd ever get all the lead out.

From what I understand if you hear lead up hot enough and keep skimming it you can remove a lot of the antimony from it

If I understand correctly, one could get a stronger core swagging die and, using lead shot, make custom frangible ammo, is that correct?

I think pure lead cast cores will be faster, cheaper, and more efficient then cutting lead wires.

Would powder blast by Break Free work for degreasing the cores? What about, Simple green degreaser also.
