I was casting some 313 and 323 bullets yesterday and they filled best at 850. (finally got my thermometer so i can see what I'm doing) I probably need to add a little tin. bullets never did get frosty

but my 410663 bullets worked best 675-725 with the same alloy.

It's hard to stop once you get going.
