I have made several hundred 230g RN with a 2 cavity mold. It was slow going so I bought a 6 cavity mold to speed things up.
I cleaned the new mold, smoked the cavities and tried to cast. I could not get the mold to fill out. its the same alloy that works fine with my other mold.
I use a lyman 4lb pot and ladle. I've tried everyway I can think of but I cant seem to get all 6 cavities completly fill out. They seem to fill 1/2 to 3/4 and then the spruce plate plugs. I thought the spruce plate was not hot enough so I filled the cavites and turned it upside down on the pot. After a few minutes I tried again but got the same results.
What am I doing wrong?
