Last night after having some casting issues I did a web search for Lee spruce plate bullet base issues.
Found an archived link on castboolits and started reading.
Really didn’t pertain to my issue, but I kept reading any way.
After a few back of forth posts seems started to sound familiar.
So I look at the name of the OP.
And of course it was me.
Questions from my first real casting session, August 2014.
So I guess I have been at this almost 5 years. Had a pretty good run with probably 15-20 thousand cast and shot.
Until last fall when I started having issues that I now mostly attribute to contaminated range scrap.
Bad fill out, too soft, hitek failing, leaded barrels.
It was a mess.
I am now trying to get things back on track, extra cleaned lead, different batches, doing a little mold maintenance etc.
It was fun reading about my first casting sessions.
And fun enjoying casting last night.
