[QUOTE="selmerfan, post: 2677532, member: 125297"] This was also me, so I was reading about salt bath annealing last night at 11:30 p.m. 😂. Looks interesting. I already do a fair amount of bullet casting, so I've got a spare furnace sitting around. One wonderment I had about salt bath annealing is why it would be different in any significant way than simply using molten lead at 760 F. I use a thermometer in my lead pot and thermocouples in my molds to keep temps consistent and I know I can hold 750-775 F quite steadily. If I already have that equipment, what's the point in using the salt bath method? That way I don't booger up a furnace with a bunch of foreign salt in my nice clean lead. [/QUOTE]
