thats exactly what i use 8/0 trebles nothing less
Been working on getting through the lead I bought with some new moulds. I got hold of the Norway style pirk and managed to knock up some weights.
Took a while to get it sorted as I was having problems with the loops showing after the pour. I made a couple of changes and rather than heating up the mould with a blowtourch I just made a few moulds and stuck them back in the pot. I alsoused a pair of pliers to close the end slightly and some play-dough to secure the loops in place which works.. ok
Up to about 80 and I've used just over half the lead (at a guess)
