Looks good. Frosted ones probably got hotter than the others. Same thing can happen when casting.

I like em frosted. When casting, any sizing smooths out the lands. Frosting holds the lube pretty well.
Those ingots look like some time went into it.
Ingots are good to have on hand.

Nice stack of ingots better get to casting them into bullets before they go bad.

FROSTING; not a problem. It will disappear when you cast then into boolits.

When casting boolits however, frosting is a sign of metal and mold being too hot; just slow down the rate of casting so the mold cools. Even when frosted, they can still be shot without problems; I do.

You will learn by trial and error.
