That is a Good Looking Bullet sdporter
My Casting Video is a Bit on the Long Side, But shows in fair Detail how i do it. I use, and Swear by a Bottom Pour Pot, With Spout opened to 3/32, If a guy figures out a Bottom pour, They work FABULOUS! They have their Quirks no doubt about it. Like the Spout Clogging, Dripping etc. I keep a Heavy Paper Clip Wire Handy that i have bent in a Shape i can Push it up inside the Spout, If i am having Trouble with the Spout clogging up i will Stop real Quick, place my Catch pan underneath, lift the Handle and Push that Paper Clip up inside and Turn it Around and Around, Then let a Steady Stream Flow in my Catch Pan for a Few Seconds to “Clean up” Then Back to Casting. I rarely have problems with Clogging tho, the few times i do, it only takes a Few Seconds to Fix it, and I’m Back in Business
But I learned that even things like your lube can make or break a good bullet.
It would be an interesting sub topic, bullet lube that is. It would also be an interesting experiment to shoot groups with everything the same with the exception of the lube. I use three different ones, a homemade lube from a recipe that I’m not convinced is great, Bore Butter, which I’m not convinced is great, and some CVA stuff I’m not convinced is great either. What is everyone using? A lot of guys have mentioned NASA lube.Years ago I was talking with Paul Jones to have him make me my first custom mould. I was having problems with the commercial bullets that I was buying and they were shooting all over the place at 100 yds. I had weighed them and found them to be 10 to 12 grains difference in a 540 gr bullet and thought that was the problem. He told me that even that crappy of a bullet should shoot one hole at 100 yds. He then told me to get some good proven bullet lube and boil out the stuff that was in the bullets and relube them. I did and it worked ! I too believe in removing all the variables and like my bullets to be + or - 1/2 a grain in the batch I'm shooting. But I learned that even things like your lube can make or break a good bullet.
