Ahhh....

Got out back again, fired up the pot, spent 1 hour, cast 125 good 125gr Lee TL boolits. Since these cast out at .360, I'll size 1/3 to .356 for the 9mm, and the rest to .358 for the 38 - they worked very well last time I went out. This mould either casts perfect, or crap. Sometimes it's hard to get it to line up, but when it does, sweet. Culled about 50 boolits from this batch.
Great way to start the day. :coffee: :castmine: :drinks:

You lubing the mold bro?

Yep, have a teeny bit of Bullplate lube. It's just loose, oh, no... I just went over to check it out, and I think my 7 year old son used it as a hammer...the back lower section is smashed in slightly, preventing the two halves from lining up correctly. Which is odd, because I did get some very good bullets from it today.
I will try it again tomorrow, and see if the heat expansion is what makes it still work, or if I have to start saving for another mold. Dagnabbit.

Ah, garbage. Here's the pics. Either he did this after I came in, or this mold came "beagled".

You can fix it. A small file to the right spot and it's good as new. Don't ask how I know.

So, how do you know? Sorry, couldn't resist! :D
