Last sat. i did my first chamber casting on an old army rifle useing cerrosafe. I found some articles on doing the job and the how too's of it. But i think i did some thing wrong and i would like some in put on it.

I had the rifle all cleaned up and i used a piece of cotton for a stop at 1-1/2" past the end of the case. I had a clear plastic hose through the chamber and small funnel on top of it. I melted the cerrosafe in a tin can and poured it in the funnel to the chamber. It was sticking in the funnel and hose some and i did put alittle to much cerrosafe in but the big problem was getting the casting out of the chamber. I let it set 5 minutes and had a hard time getting it out. I heated the chamber a little with a hair dryer and used an old cleaning rod to get it out finely.

The casting had some small holes in it but not real bad. Should you use some kind of a coating in the chamber so the cerrosafe dosen't stick in there or should i just not let it set so long be for i push the casting out ? What ever i did wrong you guys let me know or any help you can give me on this .I would be very greatful to any one thanks to every one for any help. Lee
