[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 5089388, member: 12277"] Yep Tennessee Tech in Cookeville from1978 to 1983. You'd never get away with melting lead in a dorm now. You can imagine how smoky it would get when we'd put a new batch of dirty wheel weights in the pot and flux with a pea size pellet of Lyman Alox bullet lube. Smoke would roll out of that pot. We'd throw the windows and door open and depending on wind direction either pull the smoke outside or into the hallway. Surprisingly nobody ever complained. Guys would always drop by the room and sit mesmerized watching us cast. Watching that silver steam of metal flowing into the mold then seconds later drop out as solid bullets is almost as mesmerizing as watching a camp fire. :) [/QUOTE]
