2 months ago I purchased a Ballisti-cast Mark x and the Mark 6 lube-sizer, and 16 Accurate molds for the casting machine. Let me start with the Mark 6, even though it isn't automated, it is a great sizing machine. I used Star sizing dies from Magma, and a Mr. Bullet Feeder with a nose down plate, the combo works great and have had zero issues with those two items.
As for the Mark X manual casting machine, I have had issues from day 1. First the melting pot would keep blowing heating elements, and then the machine wasn't aligned right causing fins on all the bullets cast, got those issues resolved, and now I'm getting pinch marks on every other bullet from the mold opening 1 side before the other. NV Ballistics claims it's the molds, and I am awaiting an email form Tom at Accurate molds to come over and see it in operation, so he can possibly find the cause or at least be able to say it isn't his molds. I have had the machine for 2 months with maybe 200 USABLE bullets. Every other bullet gets the pinch mark.
Has anyone recently purchased one of the Mark X machines and had issues??
