Again I appreciate the input, I realize my mistakes with heat, the mold was a bit too cool, and the melt maybe a bit too hot and my rytheme non-existant which affected the tmeperature of both...

Will any wax do? I have some candles

Weighed a couple at 240 grain +/- .2

I did another run, melt at 650, mold at 450-460. Put the HP plugs in the melt to get them hot before casting, I couldn't cats fast enough keep up with the mold temp (unless I run it nearer 500). I...

Are you sure because everyone else seemed to indicate the melt wasn't hot enough nor was the mold. The reason for the 750 is to keep the temp up, when I cast at a decent pace taking the ladle in and...

Thanks fellas, how hot is too hot? I thought 750 was running a bit hot. The mold temp was pretty up there and the pins were hot enough for me to notice, then again I'm casting with no gloves. I'll...

Hello all I spent the last couple nights casting some 247gn NOE. I have a 4 bullet mold that does 4 different bullets, two flat nose, and two hollow point with one each with gas check and one each...

what happens if the flame changes color like that? I believe mine did due to having the torches close to the case, I notice your torches are much further away but turned up higher, I turn mine down...

I'm just getting into this, I have tempilaq in 250, 350, 650 and 750.

I did some cases after what I thought was a good test run, then I adjusted the angle and intensity of the flames because the...

It's right on the inside edge to the right of center in the photo, there are other similar marks, in total i've been...

Current shellhlder is either Lee or RCBS, I have a Lee kit, but the unmarked ones I have are RCBS.

I've ID'd the problem, but the fixes haven't worked thus far. There is a deformation on the inner...

I have a stockpile of LC and blanks already at least enough to figure out what i'm doing, do you use that for case lube? I was reading on here about a lanolin/alcohol spray mix? I'm going to try and...

I'll take it apart and inspect the die, I dove headfirst into casting a while back and figured I may as well have the whole set-up. I'm trying to stockpile my own 300blk once I figure out what I want...

I just purchased a bench source, would you recommend i anneal prior to reforming, or after? I'm only now realizing I would have been better off buying brass than making my own, I've got some cash in...

Sizing factory 300BLK and resizing 5.56 to 300BLK, both cases are having gouges cut into the case about halfway down and depending how fast/hard I run the case it cuts deep all the way down the side...

Clarifications:

I'm using a Ladle, and the sprue puddle is huge and does pour over the side.

I've tried having the ladle spout tight in the hole, leaving it in for a few seconds for pressure...

Hello all,

I have three molds, 9mm, .45, .30 cal The 9mm works amazing, no issues at all.

The others however I'm running into some issues with, the .45 is a two cavity mold, and both have...
