The reduction in linotype raised the melt temperature a little. Try cranking it up another 20 degrees. I personally see no reason to add linotype to boolits used in a .45 ACP....straight WW metal is all I've ever needed.

the hotter lead seams to have worked. i rased it to 750 and both molds worked fine. made about 1000 in 1 hr. i need to make 10,000 should have it figured out by then. i just like a litter harder air cooled. i got use to it 25 yr ago when i had a reloading business. i did not way or measute, i just added a little of this and a little of that. i worked with soft lead, ww, and liontype. at one point i did water drop. i know it does make a real hard bullet. thanks charles
