I've had this mold for a couple of years now and like the boolits I get out of it. Only problem is they came out wrinkled and came out closer to 180+ than 175, had to throw a lot back into the pot. So decided to start over and cleaned it off with odor free mineral spirits and an old tooth brush again. Prepped it real good and using the calculator here, thank you bumpo628, I was able to make close to Lyman #2. Warmed the mold on the other burner. WOW, boolits came out nice and shiny with very few wrinkled! They also came in at very close to 175, +/- .6 gn of the ones I checked. Only problem I still have is boolits sticking in the mold (#2 and #3 holes (in to out)). Looked at these with my reading/magnifying glasses and can't see anything wrong. Guess I'm just going to have to keep tapping just a little harder to get them to fall. Wish I knew what I did wrong the first time around, Just have to keep trying and learning. Thanks to all those who posted here.
