That is an outstanding pocket navy rig. The antiquing looks like several originals I've seen. The bullet casting thing:
Pressuring the early balls is a pretty good way to get good spheres early in the process. It does tend to leave a hole in the ball under the sprue cut. After the mould heats up, it is usually ok to lower the mould and fill in the ordinary manner. Once the lubricant is gone from the cavity, heat is the main factor in getting good bullets.
