Thanks everyone for the input.

I get a lot of wrinkling with my ladle, so I’m sure it’s my technique.

I’ve got a Lee pro 4 20 with the bottom pour but always read where it’s better to use a good ladle for more consistent bullets. I’m not too good with the ladle yet but I’ve found that when I use the...

It’s around 80 miles from me, I live in Bedford. There should be some people there that can help you. Tip Curtis sells them “In the White” which means just the finish work is all that’s left to do.

Do you go to Friendship?
