My Lee 230gn 300 BLK mold came in a few days ago, I reread some of the info in the stickies on mold prep and had a go at it, some wheel weights and the gas stove and a HF noncontact thermometer and instant fun! Only cast a small amount pouring straight from the stainless bowl, they all came out at .309" at the lube grooves, first few lead at 300 deg. mold at 110 deg. to cold wrinkles, second pour 330 deg. lead 130 deg. mold better, last pour lead 350 deg. mold 150 deg. NICE!!
