Hey fellas so posted yesterday info on my first casting here's some pix. Also fired up for the first time $12.00 home made adjustable heater for my lube sizer works perfect. Do not have the proper top punch for those boolits with that Orange lube and wrong size punch with out the heater deforms badly the top of the boolit got the heater going just a ring.
All went well. Thank you all.

looking good.
you could just cut off a 1/4X20 bolt and use the flat as a punch for these.

I have taken a dremel and modified my top punch to get rid of the lines. It doesn't take much.

Lee 401-175-TC? That was my first mold too. Just getting going myself, but mine are PC.

Tom at Accurate molds sells a 4 pack(if memory serves) of flat top punches of different diameters. Something like $10
Good looking first casts!
