Default Think i fixed my mold

Last year my girl friend at the time " now an ex lol" bought me the 360gr lee minie bullet mold for christmas.

Had problems with his having huge amounts of lead that needed trimming off + some stuff on the sides that made bullets sometimes load easy if these burrs were not there, and if they were there, they'd load up tight. This killed accuracy and so yesterday when i was casting, i used the thick silver anti seize on the molds sprue plate, lock up pins and even did the molds base hollow point cavity where all the extra lead kept seeping through.'

Before



After the anti seize. Very little lead seepage, i plan on fully cleaning the mold and then relube it and see how that does.

no, its the camera flash that gave it that look. I tried it without the flash but they just come out to dark looking.
