I've just come to the end of my last reel of "real" (60/40  Sn/Pb)
solder. 

The new one is 95.5% Sn / 4.0% Ag / 0.5% Cu .  It seems to flow ok and
make good joints, but they aren't as "bright" and look like they are
"dry joints".

Is this normal ? I have got my iron set to 300 DegC but is this  too hot
or too cold for the newer lead free solders ?
