Tried casting some HBWC today without much luck. Many of the bullets had a deep wrinkle part way around the OD or small voids.

The trip to the range yielded encouraging results. I fired 15 rounds of Federal Match for a baseline, setting at a bench resting on a bag the group was 8 ring sized on a 50 yd replacement center....
I only cast about 150 HBWC with a M&P 4 cav brass mold. Looking at the bullet bases closer the skirt looked uneven, maybe not filled out completely, will change to the flat pins.

What lubricants can I use for my Beeman P1 air pistol? Are there other suitable substitutes for the factory made lubes for the piston and spring?
I have the M&P 358395 HBWC mold to feed a S&W 52. Since these bullets are loaded flush with the case mouth I assume it would be advantageous to use WC brass.

It's a myweigh i201. The unit has a large plastic box with a sliding door that covers the pan.
How would I ground it? Would a steel pan prevent this problem?
