Finally got to cast with it today. It's a 3 cavity al. 45-70. 2 cavities are 350 gr fn gc and the other is a 405gr gc fn. 350 gr are at each end of the mold and the 405 gr is in the center. It was a little tricky to get use to with that large size cavities. You can't cut the sprue too soon or open the mold too soon. It got hot fast, had to cast just the 2 350gr cavities and just the center 405 on the next cast. About every 4th cast I would fill all 3 cavities. had a wet sponge to cool down the sprue plate. had the pot temp around 600 and cut every sprue right back into the pot. This all seemed to work out good. 90% were all frosty good fill out no wrinkles with WW. I got 10 molds and each one cast differently.
