After I got home today, I wanted to test out the new Lee 4-20 pot I got this weekend, so I fired it up and about an hour and a half later, I was tired, so I stopped to take a look at my castings. I was getting much better overall I think, with way fewer rejects. Still having a little problem with the base tearing and not cutting cleanly, but not all of the time. Here were 5 selected at random from tonights casting. I got the temp up like I was advised, and I was only getting about 30% rejects instead of the 80% from before. Bottom pour was much easier for me. ladles might make better boolits, but I am not proficient enough with these little ones to make it work yet I think. I had no problems with the bigger boolits, but these smaller ones were kinda tough. Thanks for the help guys, Billy
