Eagle27,
Good eye, I was probably casting a bit cool, the pot was measuring about 670 F, I had a few problems with the 3589 mould with a frosty spot just above the front band, when it went frosty, you could see a definite sunken spot, right at the frosty point, it seemed to go away when the moulds cooled a little. I cast a few more again today and never had the problem, might have just been something in the mould, as it was new and unused when I got it last week.

I also find that I can cast a lot better bullets when it's raining outside, seems as though the higher humidity tends to cast better, have no idea why. A fellow caster at Dalby swears by the same thing.

I'm in the process today of getting a sizing die annealed, honed out to .424 and re-hardened for Fatboy. got his neck expander die made today as well, shouldn't be far away from firing a few.

Regards,
David.
