Hi,
I have some trouble with a Custom NOE aluminum 5 cavity 6.5 (.269) mold I bought used. It’s tight and shinny.
There’s a spot just over the lube grooves on the nose that has a slight depression more than 75% of the time. When it seems
to be filled good, when sizing, you can see an unsized spot, about .001’’ depression. It happen in all cavity, usually in one bottom half. Maybe only 1 on 8 bullets is perfect. Apart of that spot, all other parts of the bullets are perfectly defined
I have tried everything. The problem is less intense if the mold and alloy is on the hotter side. But, if too hot, I get the fins in the vent lines.
I cleaned and degreased the mold twice. The alloy is lyman no2.
I cast with many 2 cavity aluminum Lee molds with great success.
I don’t understand!
See the pics, sized and PC sized. Theses bullets pictured are in my "good" batch. The rejected are worst.
Do you think I could still shoot accurately with that?
Thanks
Mat
