I bought some pure lead that I'm going to cast into Minie balls for a rifled musket.
Do I need to flux the lead? As I understand it, fluxing is to remix the other components of the alloy (tin or antimony) back into the mix, since they part when melted.
If it's pure lead, will I need to flux? Are there other reasons to flux?
Thanks,
