The title about sums up my last few posts.
Got some of Bullshops sprue lube and mixed up a batch of WW with some 60/40 solder this weekend (you may have read my post about this). I had worked over my friggin Lee Mold (friggin is a technical term) by polishing the cavities with comet and also the underside of the cutter and the top of the mold too. Got my alloy nice and hot and lubed the mold as per instruction. MAN! This stuff is great. I cranked out about 100 boolits with maybe only 10 rejects and that was my fault on most of them. The added tin surely helped but the sprue plate lube is outstanding.

The Lee molds work fine If you keep them hot and polish the cavities as you did.
