Sounds like your getting a late start. I caught my lead pouring jig tying bug early Feb, and I'm still tying.

Your problem is probably in the lead. There are different kinds...harder and softer ect. Just like there are many different kinds of stainless.

You probably had lead on the harder side. Will be fine for some of your molds but as with your case ran into problems with bigger sizes.

I use what ever lead I can get a hold of and sometimes the quality of jig is never the same. I mix it all together and will never end up with the same lead concoction twice.

The softer leads seem to pour the best.

Just us up the lead you have with what ever mold works for that and find some soft stuff for the biggies.

Good luck, Beamie
