I just got my new mold from MP. Its a fantastic looking .45 SWC in the H&G design. When I was preparing my mold for the first pour ( cleaning/ degreasing) I noticed that I could see light through the closed mold in the center. I'm new to this stuff, so I didn't think it was a huge deal. Its not like the gap was more than a hair wide so I continued with my plan to pour some bullets.
I've used a Lee .452 SWC mold with great results, also a NEI RN. I'm using 20# WW and 2# 50/50 solder as my alloy. I don't see anything wrong with the mold, but I'm not very skilled at this sort of thing.
Here are my results. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Will
