Cabine Tree Tester - Got mine last night - WOW!
Hot Plate: Another 'Duh' moment. Had trouble getting filled out bullets on my Lee molds (most of mine are Lee - $$). They came out ok. Never seem to get the lead or mold hot enough to even get frosted bullets...
The other night I went and bought a hot plate - put my brand new 6 cavity 40 cal mold on it. The bullets that came out were filled and frosty!
NOE Thermometer - Now I can adjust pot temperature.
Lee 6 Cavity - got a little work to do on getting the bullets to drop.....smoking them or use the Franklin Mold prep I have...
I wish there was a kindergarten level sticky that told people what to do and have on hand - exactly - to make nice cast boolits. At least with a 90% chance of success.
Hot Plate and thermometer - Must haves.

BTW: I have read the Lee instructions and threads on casting - but back to that kindergarten level comment....
