Run about 750 so far. No issues. They’re good to go in my book.

Get the 106VH if you want to see temp in F instead of C.

Like Deces said, dry it off. Take a little rubbing alcohol and clean the drive wheel and the rim of the drum so it has some friction. Maybe give it a little push start too.

This. My usual online brass vendor has in stock uncleaned 9mm for $34.99/K shipped. If you can let them go for under 0.03/ea delivered by the MFRB full, they may sell. Good luck with your sales!

Lyman 50th and cast 4th both show the charge weights you listed (3.0-3.9) for red dot with 120 gr at 1.065" OAL. Let us know how it shoots!

Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook 4th edition lists two 356242s, 90 and 120 gr. Also in several different cartridges (380, 9x19, 38 spl…). What do you have?

You're probably right about the flat primers, but the Bird asked which made more pressure. I'm still thinking the faster powder (within 0.1 grains) stuffed in the same small space (same OAL) will...

Thanks.

Seems like an ideal candidate for an external PID setup.
Forum: Casting Equipment
Some things you might try if you haven’t already. Run it with the solid pins to see if it is the cavities or the pins. Make sure the pins will slide freely on their own weight when you tip the mold....

I've had really good luck with quick and easy shake coating (no BBs, just boolits and a teaspoon of powder) with these Eastwood powders:
# 16250 HOTCOAT POWDER SQUIRREL GRAY

Timely post RJM52! How do you like that 640 lightweight mold? I've wanted one for quite a while now and I emailed Miha last week and asked him if he planned on running the 411-640 anytime soon. He...
Yikes! That is high, definitely avoid using that! Strange because their 9mm load was right in the ballpark suggested by the powder manufacturer.
Did you try the load listed in the extreme reloading manual using CFE? I tried one of their suggested loads in 9mm for BE86 and was satisfied with the accuracy.

We recently went with the entry level Kubota Z231 with the Kawasaki engine. 12 hrs on it so far and it is doing great for our 3/4 acre lawn.
Looks like you have some tinning there - you need to get that lead off the faces of the blocks. Mal Paso and others here had some great advice on getting these brass MP molds to run. See here for...
