Finally got my mold and melted lead together. Was having a harder than normal time with the mold when I checked the diameter of the holes on the sprue plate. Turns out they were undersized. Switched out with a backup plate I had and problems disappeared. After casting I drilled out the holes and dressed the back/bottom of the plate so it is smooth
Only problem then was keeping pot full of lead and up to temperature. Was runnning 2 .38 6-hole molds as well as the .314 mold. Now I get to size the 30 lbs I cast.
