Dangit Lewis, you are a Master Caster!
I could NEVER make slicks like yers using a bottom pour!!
It took me some time, and dedication to get like i am with it, Now it’s EASY for me. Like anything else, it’s what you get use to. I look back & think to myself “why didn’t you do it like this from the beginning?” Well, I didn’t know any better in the beginning I had to learn, and i had to do so on my own since the VAST Majority of SERIOUS Big Bullet Casters use Ladles
The 2 Biggest keys to Success is Temperature, and Fill Rate, As you know these BIG 500 PLUS Grain Bullets have to be filled QUICKLY to get perfect Fillout. I had to open the Spout of the Bottom pour Pots to 3/32 (I run 3 of them, Different Lead/Alloys) Then adjust Flow with the Stem (3/32 Wide open, Lead will actually Splash back up out of the Mold, it’s TO MUCH) With the Stem adjusted properly, I can fill a 600 PLUS Grain Mold in 1 Second Flat
