I casted with this single cavity, iron, hollow point mold for the first time last night. My IR thermometer read about 400F for the mold and 450F for the hot plate before I started. Lead was about 780F. This was the easiest first session on a mold I have ever had. Very little mallet work to get the boolits to fall out - sometimes just removing the hollow point pin was enough.

So happy with this mold that my next mold will be a 3-5 cavity iron mold. Makes me wonder if I lucked out here and got a good one.
