So I gathered up some random scraps of lead and plugged in the pot. I wanted some of the 311041 plain base boolits to play with and so I dug out the mold and started to warm it up. It is a 6 cavity and has not been used in about 4 years and so was kind of sluggish to get it running right. It took maybe 200 boolits that had wrinkles before I was getting good casts, so backin the pot they go. I probably should have washed the mold, it was oily , but I thought , " the next ones will be good" and finally it was true. So once everything is clicking along nice it is very difficult to stop. But eventually I get a nice crick in my back and then unplug the pot and cast until it freezes up and stops. I hate to waste all that energy that it took to heat the pot and so I just kind of coast to a stop.

I will make some empty 30/30 brass into cast boolit loads with these.
