i have several lee 6 bangers
9mm up to 45 colt
i get sharpei bullets (wrinkly looking abominations)
until my molds get up to temperature...then they seem to cast moderately okay.
i use a "PID" on my pot set at 715 degrees f.
and i have a needle thermometer on my hot plate....and it read 390 degrees f.
and this temp. pair-up seems to work well for 45acp 228 gn. round nose and 45 colt 255 gn RFN.
BUT THAT DOESN'T WORK SO WELL WITH 9MM or 38 special.
right now i'm using wheel weights.
whats the sweet spot.. temperature wise ?
also , i have to use a wooden dowel rod to poke at the bullet bases to get them to release.
any suggestions on a releasing agent?
