Hard Skills
IntermediateMolten Metal PouringThe precise action of transferring liquid metal alloys into bullet moulds while controlling flow rates and preventing air entrapment.
BasicMould Maintenance and PreparationCleaning, preheating, and applying release agents to bullet moulds to ensure consistent casting quality and easy part ejection.
AdvancedThermal ManagementMonitoring and adjusting the temperature of the lead alloy and moulds to prevent defects like frosting, wrinkles, or incomplete fills.
IntermediateDimensional and Weight InspectionUsing calipers and precision scales to verify that cast bullets meet specific weight tolerances and diameter requirements.
AdvancedAlloy Composition KnowledgeUnderstanding the ratios of lead, tin, and antimony required to achieve specific hardness levels for various bullet types.
