I'm having trouble with bad fillout with heavy bullets. I cannot get my BM to throw enough lead to get both cavities properly filled out.
I'm out of ideas to try next. Here's some info and what I have tried so far
*The lead is hardball sn2sb6
* I've tried different temperatures on lead and moulds without any better results
* The machine is aligned and adjusted so it drops lead straight into the cavities, but the speed of the right side pour is a bit slower, when eyeballing the lead stream.
* I emptied the pot and cleaned it all out in case debris was trapped.
* I took out the pouring rod and cleaned it. It looked ok.
* I took out the orifice plate and cleaned both the orifices, with a #44 drill bit.
After all this, the same, just one cavity with proper fillout! I have backed out the pouring rod at the edge of constant dripping, so it cannot be backed out further. The solenoid is also adjusted to throw max lead.
Is it possible to get it to throw a tad more lead? Drill 2 bigger holes in the orifice plate? This problem only occurs with 240 and 250 gr bullets.
I'm trying to get answers here before I hammer Eric at Magma with questions. I know he's loaded with work.
Thanks!
