    Good to see you have one of my designs. It works quite well in the 45 ACP also.

    I always get excited about new moulds but I dread the prep work in means of heat cycling but I never skip this step. Thanks for sharing Macman

    Great video Macman! I ran through a very similar process with my latest mold. My first NOE and I wanted to be extra careful. Cleaned and prepped, I used my hot plate to heat cycle it, unsure about using the oven. I'll try that next time for sure though. I don't have any brass molds yet though and will be ordering one just so I can try it. Thanks for sharing!

      Thank you Marc, the oven works really well as long as you can keep the temp right

    Good stuff there, Mac. As you can imagine, I’m anxious to see how yours run. I would suggest just casting ONE mold at a time with these guys for the first go. Call if you have any other questions 😀🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸

    I see alot of people smoke the cavities. Is smoking the cavities not necessary? Thanks

      I have never smoked them and a lot of the people I talk to don’t bother either just heat cycle them two or three times and you’re good to go

    What % of metals do you melt? Tin/zink/lead?

      I use wheel weights with a little tin

      You never want zinc in your lead alloy. Bad things happen.
