I'm casting the Keith bullet in 45LC Lyman 452424 which casts a 255g boolet. My problem lately has been the bullets look nice, but the base of the bullet doesn't fill out completely. Where I should have a nice sharp driving band, it sorta rounds at the top near the spru plate. They seem to shoot OK but I still had to throw a lot back in the pot. I am leaving a very generous puddle on top so there's something to pull down into the mold, and I'm pouring from a Lyman ladle. An ideas why this is happening? I don't see it on my other bullets that I cast. I use wheel weights with 2% or so tim added.
Thanks for the help....
