Default ventures in casting

I got start melting down WW's and some other scrap lead yesterday and today. Run into some problems but working it out.

yesterday melted 40lbs of WW's only got 6/1.5lbs ingots out of it. with too much waste. Today melted 5lbs of lead 12ga slug, 000 buckshot, few more WW's (2lbs), and about 1/3 of the waste (more lead then anything) got 6/1.75lbs ingots. And I like fluxing with sawdust. smells good

Thanks for all the help. still have not got a mould yet but working on it.
