Thank you for the replies everyone. In the long term this is one I’m going to be trying out some different lines.

Howdy all,
Did a quick search and didn’t turn up anything specific on it. I usually use regular unleaded gasoline to degrease my brass after resizing but have a larger than normal amount of brass...

I still consider myself a beginner at casting, have a handful of molds that cast accurate bullets but haven’t gotten a hardness tester yet. The book in the stickies section (the cast bullet...

What do you mean by bubbly? I'm running about four or five seconds before I cut the sprite so it sounded like I'm running a bit cold. Bullets are a touch wrinkled but figured but figured it was just...

Haven't had that issue before, only one I'm working through right now is trying to get a LEE 50 cal REAL bullet mold to fill out properly, no issue with the round ball half of the mold.
