I had one of those very rare and very rewarding casting sessions today where everything went exceptionally well and smooth. My favorite mold, the RCBS 45-250-KT dual cavity mold, started casting perfect bullets in only 3 pours. Bullets released well with only a few taps needed for a few stubborn ones. The alloy remained consistent and did not frost today for some reason even though I used the same temperature setting. My cadence was a little slower but that should not have affected that.
There was very little smoke from the pot, the alloy stayed bright and shiny, the sprues all cut cleanly with no streaking, the spout kept pouring cleanly, bullets were perfectly formed, and the pot was filled twice and drained into the molds. WOW. I even switched molds to a Lee 309-170 to drop some bullets for a 30-30 rifle. That Lee mold cast perfect bullets on the second pour. The casting gods (Leadicus and Moldysios) looked upon me with favor today.
I then lubed up some bullets and loaded up 150 45 Colt loads. The loading process was flawless too. Apparently my mojo was right on track today. It is very nice to have such a great day casting and loading with absolutely no issues or annoying little situations to contend with. It was truly - a perfect session.
