Fired up the pot lastnight and cast my first bullets. By way of all the posts and advice I've received here, I "thought" I knew what I was doing. The first hundred or so looked like crap and I was thinking that maybe I've got in over my head... I kept pouring and remelting the ugly bullets and unfortunately, just about all were ugly. I couldn't figure it out. The melt temp was correct, the molds were clean and lubed, I had even preheated the mold! I kept pouring and remelting and then...they started to look like boolits. Near the end of the pot, I was getting an occasional 6 good ones and most times, most were good and even got frosted boolits. The only thing I can think of is that my mold was just simply not hot enough. I would have thought that it would have heated up after a few pours but I guess I learned differently. THANKS EVERYONE!
Couple of footnotes, I'm using a Lee Pro 4 and getting the rhythm of the bottom pour was not easy. Lot's of short pours and even more overflows but I'm getting it. Also, the darn valve insists on dribbling... Tonight, tummble lube time!
