Shoot it but research your ammo or reload for it. You don’t want to risk breaking anything at all if it’s all matching. Else you’ll take a bath on the price drop.

You selling any of those? I love my Lyman molds. Lee’s I have some but man they overheat quickly. I don’t cast often but when I do it’s 1-2 full pots worth.

I wouldn’t mind testing a few of those out. That cruise missle seems closer to milspec weight though.

Best advice for first time hitek coater. Use your thermometer that you use for casting ingots, I have the rcbs one. Watch your oven and don't let it get above 400. About 380 or so you'll see the...
