Thanks to all again . I poured some 45s this am and wieghed against known comercial recast bullets ( could've saved me some time and blood pressure surges) and found the "new" alloy to infact be my anchor junk as the bullets weighed in at 235 as opposed to 252-256 . That said and as long as it was already hot I added 1-1 pure lead tossed all from troubling alloy in and got out the new 309-160 mould and the 324-170 mould andwashed both . Dawn , boiling water,carb cleaner , electric motor cleaner , Q Tips then smoked .
Viola !!!!!!!!! The 309 drops perfect the first time both cavities and the 2nd 3rd then the damned phone " honey why are you making bullets in my kitchen ?". " your not here to tell me I can't ?" Ok so I dropped about 50 that all looked pretty good so I switch to the 324-170 thinking problem solved . NNNOOOO, just a finiky mould that has to be hot its best drops are the 1st 1 after the frosted (too hot?) bullets .
