I have been reading the threads on casting slugs and round balls for shotshells. there are the people that use a hot plate for pre heat and keeping the molds warm. I am curious as how it is done. just place the mold on the heating element and adjust the heat to low?
I have two .69o round ball Lee molds for making shells. I figure that once I get them up to temp and some practice ones done, I should be able to move right along.
I also have a Lee key drive 7/8 and 1 oz molds, I will have two separate drop pans.
Has anybody used the high temp copper anti-seize lube on the threads and pins of the molds?
Are there any tips, other than keeping the proper parts lubed and use a gentle tap with a wood club rather than a GO- rilla wack!
