BUT I thought since I have Melted Lead,I might as well drop some into the Mold that was sent to me in a Swappin Deal. I used the Spoon to pour the Lead. My first few on the Left Were Rejects (but Kept for Memoirs) and about 20 into it they looked like the ones on the right. Lee Aluminum 2 Banger Mold 158gr
They dropped @.359

I bought a Lee 4-20 Pot and Really started to Produce More Efficiently.
