I posted this on another thread, thought I would give it it's own thread,
has anybody else noticed with 6 cyl molds that filling them from one end or the other has an impact on bullet fillout ?? I have a 10mm TC and a 230 grain 452 roundnose that both act opposite, I was alternating directions of fill to try to equalise out heat in the blocks and noticed it.
The 4 cavity Saeco I have for a 125 grain round nose I usally fill away from me because I can get the fill spout closer to the blocks that way and I didnt notice any differance in fillout either way. I have run 5000 or so bullets from it so it is an old friend.
The Lee 6 cyl seem to like having 1/2-3/4 inch drop from the spout to the mold, and a pretty good stream strength to fillout all 6 cavities nicely.
All of this in a promelt run wide open with pure WW fluxed with 30w motor oil.
