I am a new caster. Before I broke a screw for the sprew plate last night, I was in the middle of my 2nd casting session. Concentrating a lot on consistancy. I believe I got the consistancy, but the boolits are dropping at 145-144 grains and not 150. Believe to be a older mold. What up?
Are the variances on the first cast worth worrying about? Or go ahead and size/lube and shoot?
1. Using ladle.
2. My own mix of Lyman #2 (90/5/5)
3. Close to freezing, but was in garage with door open.
4. Dial on pot was 650. Double checked with thermometer. It is very close.
