Today I did some bullet casting. The temp was around 70F so I was able to do so out in my shop without sweating like a pig.
After I culled the bad ones, I wound up with 106 of the .530 balls and 16 of the Minies.
The Minie mould is a little challenging to cast with. I think it would work better if Lee had used larger blocks to retain the heat better once it's up to temp.
The Lee round ball mould works fine, although I wish it was a 6 cavity instead of the 2 cavity mould I have. In my experience, the 6 bangers maintain temp better and you can cast a large quantity of bullets in a relatively short time.
