New Molds!

[EMC45]

Got a Lee 105gr. SWC and .314-90gr. TL in the mail today. Gonna fire up the pot when the wife gets home!

[EMC45]

Poured some of the .314-90s and they pour fat!! I put calipers on them and they came in at .320! Need to get the .314 sizer!!

Nah ...... just get one of those Enfields with a large groove and shoot 'em in that ! [smilie=l:

EMC45;
You might want to carefully look at your Lee .314-90. It might not be closing completely. Until I started using Bullshop's Sprue plate lube on the alignment surfaces of my Lee two cavity moulds, the "steel on aluminum" alignment surfaces would "stick", not properly closing and producing large bullets. I only have a few of these two cavity moulds as I MUCH prefer the Lee six cavity moulds. However, I DO have a few and they work MUCH better now that I have learned to lube them.

Another thing that can happen is some flashing or lead splatter could be holding the mould open. I often examine the mould faces with magnification to better see what the problem might be.

Just a thought or two...

Did lube them after posting this. They were dropping right at .315 after lubing the mold. they should do fine now. Still trying to hunt down a sizing kit......
