Lee menting

[kbstenberg]

Another Newbie question. When you start to Leement a mould whether a double cavity or a six holer. Should the bullets be numberd for the cavity they come out of, so that the bullet that comes out of a specific cavity goes back into the same one.

That's the way I normally do it. I think it helps assure that the bullet fits the cavity as close as possible.

Nah.
The sprue usually breaks off on the one you are useing. I keep two seperate. I smear lapping compound on each one. After I have lapped the mold, I use one I kept aside to finish the lapping. There is little pressure on it. I do both cavities with that one. I then take the second one. I repeat the process. This time I start in the other one and finish in the one I started in the first time.
Comes out close enough.
