Just installed new Master Caster 220V with Digital controller. It works great casting (which I had a few doubts about as I have been hand casting for almost 20 years and didn't quite believe that it could have the same level of consistency) and I have no problems with the Caster itself, but I definitively need ideas on how to catch the bullets. I have been using 2 boxes - one with a towel in it for bullets and another for sprues. I find that the bullets seem to get a lot of flat spots on them - I know I need to empty the bullet box more often, but I also wonder if I have them falling too far. My Caster is mounted to the top of a workbench with a hole cut through it for the sprues & bullets to fall through. The catch boxes are about 14 inches down on a sliding shelf. What drop distance does anyone have success with? What kind of box or other ideas do you other caster's use?
I appreciate anyone's help with this.
Thanks!
