This is a excellent thing to do , it always amazes me that the
sprue plates are really not that flat and especially the sprue holes .

Thats just the way that the light is hitting it , I did not drill it .

The Mag 25 is excellent it heats up fast you
can drop your sprue back in as you cast and
it keeps the temp up very well and yes you
will need to upgrade to the NOE mold guide .
One negative...

Can the Lyman Mag 25's PID controller be turned up above 850 degrees

I would also consider looking at the crown and even try to
clean up the crown with a brass screw and JB bore paste .
Can you push a pellet through the bore and show a picture of it .

To call Corbin's cutters junk is very harsh if you ask me
I can cut 1,000 cores in 30 minutes and there within 1/10
of a grain from one to another . But there is probably some great
satisfaction...

Now that looks like a good time right there .

I smelt my airgun pellets and my scrap swaging wire
and pour them into ingots for future use .
