[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 5080853, member: 12277"] I'd suggest maybe adding a couple % pure Tin to get better fill out. It's real hard to get fill out of the cavities with pure lead based on my attempts at it which have been very few. Getting the mold itself up to temp by dipping it into the lead until lead easily releases from the bottom of the blocks when you lift it from the pot, then dipping the corner of the sprue cutter into the molten lead also for 10 seconds is my routine for getting up to temp once the lead itself is hot. I've thought about trying that mold for my in line 50 caliber just to see how a full caliber bullet worked but so far have only used sabotted subcaliber bullets. [/QUOTE]
