difference even when i had the mould very hot and the alloy hotter[turned the temp control from just over 6 where i normally cast at up to just over 9 in small steps ] it still did it . i've been casting for over 30 years and have tried all the tricks i've learned .i did get a couple hundred good useable bullets from yesterdays session.
