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 .

Nothing wrong with too hot/frosty bullets so long as you let the sprue harden and don't tear it. I usually take a wet towel and use it to cool the sprue plate- just don't get any moisture near your pot!!

What diameter is the .324 mould dropping them at? I have one that dropped them at .323" or so which was absolutely worthless to me considering that that the tightest groove diameter in any of my 8mms was .3235" or larger. There's ways around that too, but I ended up buying a custom mould that drops bullets out at .326" or better.

I see you have mentioned something about using battery lead.Stay away from battery lead.Most battery's now days use calcium in there lead and does not mix and cast very well.also if you use wheel weights,watch for the presents of zinc in some weights.When melting down the weights keep the temps low because lead will melt before the zinc will and you will be able to remove it along with the clips.

I have read and have tried using a peice of lead free solder in the pot.This will provide better casting because of the tin in the solder.This was used in my w/w mix.

Ah!

Wasnt sure what the lead free solder was made of, so it is made of tin? That's good news since only a few places still sell the 50/50 and 60/40 wire/bars.

BTW, You're from Hartford? You're only about 10 miles away from me

Briman , Mine drops .324's with all my grace . Its good for my 8mm but too big for my 32 remmington . I can't find a .322 sizer I can afford . Do you still have the under sized mould ? would make an offer .

Do you use a lee push through sizer or do you have a Lyman 450/4500 or RCBS lubrasizer?

You can get a sizing die set for .321" for a lubrasizer, and its no big feat to lap it out a thou.

Lee will also make a custom push through sizer, the price isn't too unreasonable if I remember correctly.

Using the Lee push thrus for now . I have that cheap gene , hard for me to "want" to spend for the lube sizer then pay for the dies when the lees are so inexpensive . This is really just a dinking around hobby sort of time spent . I did consider getting the .314 and reaming it out to .322 I have access to a reamer set that would do it . Funny how we adopt these somtimes beat up ugly dinosaurs then wat to get them going and shooting with the best of the new . I'll figure out the sizing issues , and I have the casting bugs just about whooped I need to make notes for me on the mould boxes so as not to get all run a muck again .

I'd have thought with all the 32 win spec. around that sizing for 321 would be more available. The rem and win are the identical cartrige save that the rem has the rim turned off to a rimless case .

I use a lubrasizer for odd sizes that I can get sizing dies for such as .325" and .266." I think the Lee push through design is not only cheaper by vastly superior to a lubrisizer for a couple of reasons- the bullets self align and always run straight through a lee sizer (getting them to size straight in a lubrisizer isn't always easy., The Lee sizer is much faster to use, and you don't have to worry about which top punch to use for each bullet.
