ok here it is @Makros and @akaroa1 asked for
I'm a bullet and sinker caster who has been doing it for 15-odd years with no serious accidents
about 2 months ago I was cleaning up the reloading room and off the floor, I picked up quite a few cast bullets that I dropped and thought I'd get that later
for those of you who don't know cast bullets need to be lubricated with a sticky wax-based concoction
anyway, a week or so later I had the lead hot and thought (I'll add those old bullets to melt back down) something I do all the time it's a standard practice
unknowing to me there was a live primer that i must have dropped without realizing that had stuck to the wax lube on the bullets
boom molten lead everywhere including myself
to cut a long story short I'm still recovering from some bad burns over 2 months later the pot was about 500c at the time
