I get it with all my moulds I’ve weighed bullets from. I had been casting for about an hour. My mould was hot, but you’re right. That is a big bullet. So maybe nothing to worry about. They all shoot ok. I just want perfect....Agree. Have you tried compression casting? Idk how many you cast of that one in a session. Is the problem just with that mold?
I always expect about 10% to be throwbacks. The first few almost always get thrown back. I drop the keepers in order so i can tell if im getting mold temp problems or something else. I can follow changes that way. I want to know which one was first, which was last... I found that the better i clean the mold the fewer of those 'inclusions?' I get. Idk but a few of them on a bullet that big may account for a grn or 2 dif.
I can’t seem to get it right...
Hey 52 Bore, those bullets look awesome! Where did you get the mold for them? II like to cast 50 at least.
Sometimes, depending on mold, heat and time - I’ll throw the 1st 10-20 back into the pot. Once they look good - no wrinkles, I’ll roll on continuously. Oil on your mold will effect the way they look too. You seem hot enough as it should take a few seconds to solidify. I use a ladle and pressurize my mold for a few seconds - just the way I was thought.
When I weigh them, I almost always have a bell curve. Mine are pure lead with just a small piece of tin on my 40-50# pot.
Here are my 54’s I cased recently, weighted in 1/2gr rows.
