There is absolutely rules from cleaning to form to what the gun likes to what patch /what material /what lube and combination of wad /wad stacking with what powder/powder granulation !!!!!!!!!!! Since we have already discussed the relevance of molds to our (SPORT) lets just point out the obvious , of course there are rules in all it"s forms relating to Black powder/subs and muzzle loaders in general and nope not offended in the least if that"s something you find foreign to this sport ,but yep there's rules (lots) and because you don"t grasp that doesn"t change that fact. . The reason I"m here is to learn and I have (a lot) and Idaho Lewis is probably my go to for how to anything related to BP guns (sidelocks) in particular so no offence taken but sure is annoying to hear stuff that has no basis in fact as Lewis proves his stuff daily/EdSome targets using cheaper Lee molds, the first one with a Pedersoli Sharps at 200 meters, the second one with a Pedersoli Mortimer flintlock at 50 meters.
I think that in the real worl of the black powder there is just one rule: no rules! And this is the reason why I like the black powder guns so much. And I don't need to offend anyone for this.

Must be the interpretation thing again ,annoying is exactly my opinion when describing your (FACTS) vs What Lewis shows in detail so (everyone) can duplicate his findings ,He has a you tube channel also so others can learn how too !I'm writing politely and showing my results with molds different from BACO products and Idaho Lewis assessments. But I got some names and bad adjectives from you and IL, like "Claudingus", "annoying", "dead horse" and other things you can read in this topic. And this just for opinions different from yours. This is not fair.
What is ignorant ? Tom explained his process (Does it well) and backs it up with verified expert aside from himself ,so again ignorant? I use both molds without issue ,thou BACO actually sends samples cast by the mold you bought .Wish accurate did too /Edreally this is ignorant , there are good and bad molds in all, and sorry even Baco for I have one
it is a fact just as I stated , good and bad in all of themWhat is ignorant ? Tom explained his process (Does it well) and backs it up with verified expert aside from himself ,so again ignorant?

Tom, how hot do you get your lead for your molds?I keep my mold hot enough to make good, non wrinkled bullets. My infrared thermometer says that's about 350 deg.
And I realize that this is heresy to traditionalists, but I use aluminum molds.
But I really don't recommend; you should use what works for you. There is no wrong way, but accept the inherent problems when using extreme methods.
