Soaking and light use wood seems to be what you folks do. Was going to use a mason jar with tight lid.

Got plenty of that. Neighbor planted a bunch on property line and now it’s coming into my back hayfield. I was hoping there was an easier way to do this. Will try all the suggestions. The mold has...

Thanks for all the replies . I tried a popsicle stick sharpened. Works but what a job under a magnifier. There has got to be a quicker way. Actually the wood stick polishes the mold.Nooks and...

No ultrasonic. Tried brake cleaner. It evaporates to quick. Guess I could put a lid on container. Take a lot to cover the halves. I haven’t used Hatchers mix since I was a kid. Think that’s close...

Have a mold in 32 caliber that I use for my Pardini 32 ACP. All is well as far as accuracy. [Perfect]. There seems to be a carbon build up in the vent grooves of the mold that will not dissolve ....

Use acetone. Had whole bunch with regular lube. Put them in bowl with acetone and swirled them around. Dumped them in soft cloth and rolled and pressed them. Worked really well

301549100 rounds 120 gr 9mm fired into my clamshell bullet stop301545301547. Bullets are destroyed and barrel is clean .NO waste. Glock 27

Acetone turns the bullets dull. Think it allows for better adhesion . Takes lube off after sizing and oils off ones hands..Glad you have a winner.

I use acetone to get lube off and mix a pinch of the powder in it to get a wash on the lead
I use HF gun. Did the same with tumble. I have trouble getting to much on rather than not enough..I use...

Put a 40 amp scr on mine. No heat sink. Just thermal mastic. Stays pretty much at room temp. 1/16 din RTD controller. Autotune should be part of the configuration

Send em to me. Will cut to whatever length your want and send em back. Free. Or I can make one and harden it

:killingpc:killingpc[QUOTE=Green Frog;5302883]Does everyone else have the same problems I do with your spell check not believing you want to type "sprue"? I'll be through typing a scholarly post and...

Keeping my hand on third handle led to far end of mold not closing completely291968
Also surface ground the plate. Made a big difference in ease of spew cut. Less effort and drag. Sprue plates are...

I followed the directions from here. No channel, hot plate, break cleaner, lube, 730 degrees, no smoking mold,, That mold has poured the best bullets I have ever cast. Looking at 6 hole molds for...

Thanks. I have seen what hot aluminum will do to the shiny new mold. You use like a dowel with fine grinding compound on the bullet side of plate?

Can buy new plate, but thought I would ask someone that may have tried it. I can see your point

Since I have a Bridgeport mill, what advantage would I have cutting a runner on the sprue plate. What pattern mill cutter should I use. Looks like a ball cutter in photo. Still haven’t...

Got one now. See a little light crack at bottom, which is making a tapered bullet. Nothing In it. Had to pull some bullets cause they failed plunk test. Just ordered another mold cause it has...

Was ruminating last night about led pot size and refilling while casting. I prep my lead in muffin tins . Dumping them in when the pot is low takes time to recover. Not trying to reinvent my setup...

Thanks all for your input
I was concerned about fill with such a long contraption
If I have a mess, I will get back to you

Anything i have to relearn with a 6 hole. Used a 4, but never a six
Thanks for any input that will make journey easier
Use a hot plate now to help maintain heat
The mold looks awful big hanging...
