I got my new 4-10 and lyman ingot mold in today, and I was super stoked to play with them. Got my rascals all tucked in for the night and went out on the back porch to play with it for a min. I usually do my reloading and stuff at work, not here cause the kids make it difficult to pay attention. So anyhow I was just playing around and molding some 247 311s from and NOE mold. I left my lube at the shop so I tried lubing with a crayon...dont do that. So after it stopped being wrinkly and I started getting good bullets I was dropping them in a half 5 gal bucket full of water. Again, just playing around, I know thats not necessary. Got 100 or so and decided it was quittin time and went digging through my bullets. I noticed pretty quickly that some of them broke off at the last lube ring, and most the others were bent to some degree. Some badly, like banana bent. Needless to say they are all back in ingot form. What the heck happened. Id think that water would cool equally all around the bullet and not cause a weird deformation like that.
BTW that lee 4-10 reminds me of my grandmas toilet. The only way to get it to stop running is to jiggle the handle. I gotta get richer so I can get an RCBS or something:razz:
