I picked up a .733" round ball mold from Dixie Gun Works. It does not have a sprue plate. Does anyone have a good way of cutting the sprue off.
when they cooled I tried useing some side cutters but they leave a sharp bump. I tried useing a flat blade screw driver to knock it off when they first come out of the mold. I got several that looked pretty good, but some broke down into the ball leaveing small craters.
Any thoughts.
Cut with side cuts and then file or grind down?
I also found an antique roll crimp tool for 12 ga shells. I tried it on some different plastic hulls and it seems to work pretty good.
