As this ridge starts showing up slow down casting or turn the heat down , also check to see if the sprue plate is flush/flat on the surface .

When thangs get good & hot lead will go to even the smallest cracks !

On the 6 bangers as they heat up it`ll take longer on the sprue to flash over , should`nt take more than 2.5-3 seconds ,any longer your mold is too hot !!

I take from the posts your loading rifle first ???

LLA has failed me when I turn up the pressure , more pressure more leading .
Also it`ll burn up on the tiniest amount of gas cutting of the bullet .
