Re: cast iron moulds
I don't know about the lead sticking to the outside of the mould blocks. It might work just be careful immersing them into the molten lead. I have gotten to the point that I even do this with my aluminium Lee molds.

Re: cast iron moulds
FWIW An old bullet caster's trick to prevent interior rust is to leave the mould filled with lead when you are finished casting. It works, I don't know what the reason is. A couple of years ago I dug out a set of mould blocks my father had put away 20+ years ago, the outside was covered by a fine red rust the inside looked as good as new.
