Unless of course it's a range where only pure lead is used!
I know plenty of people I shoot with that use range pick up for slugs, as far as I know (could be wrong) you only need to use pure lead if you are going to be shooting with tight chokes or thick wads so that there is some give in the slug, I only use cylinder choke for slug and thin walled wads.

With something like that 18 holer I'd get it right hot first of all so that the sprue puddle won't cool then cast slowly till it gets to a working temperature.

There is nothing wrong with frosted boolits so long as the frosting is even not patchy.
Thanks will give it a try.
