Good info on your pouring technique, esp the alloy temp trick.
Stock glock barrel's don't stabilize heavy cast projectiles well, Hickok45 has a youtube video on this, and he even had some shots key hole. Then the chamber's in these are a bit on the "loose" side...
Could we maybe be getting "universal" and "clays" powders confused?
