Need some help here folks...
I finally got a lyman 429649, and tried casting with it last night. Before i started casting with it, I scrubbed the c.r.a.p. Outta it and noticed the on one side of the mold cavitys the surface inside the cavity was kinda pourus... Not overly so, but enough to make it very very hard to get the bullets to drop. Of course i smoked the mold extra good but no dice.... I measured the boolits and they are pretty round, and dropp at the correct size, but i need to figure out some way to polish the inside without increasing the size... Need it make it smooth again.... I was thinking about beagling, but dont have the stuff, and dont want to increase the size.... Any other suggestions??? I really want to develop this mold for bear defense...
