Casting problems
      25/02/08 10:27 AM

Hi,
I post this here becuse is about muzzleloading bullets.
I have been casting for one and a half hour and get almost 200 bullets.
My mold is a Lee R.E.A.L , 440 gn., muzzleloading bullet, so I cast them in pure lead.
I set the fire to get 700º (lower than recommended on other forum), use a ladle and a wet towel to cool the plate. I casted almost prefect bullets, until I check them with good light.
2/3 of the bullets from cavity closer to the handles were rejected and almost all the bullets from the other cavity also were rejects. All bullets have the same problem at different degree, the one you see on the picture (I do not know how it calls).



Is it a problem that solves casting at higher temperature? I set it at 700º because at higher setting the mold gets too hot.

Will these “bad” bullets affects accuracy? Just want your opinion.LOL

Thanks
Martin
