I try to maintain a 3 bullet per minute average with a single cavity mould and the ladle. I figured out that by using the pour spout I spent more time between throws waiting for the sprue to harden. The sprue hardens as soon as the ladle comes away, and I get more bullets per hour with the ladle. AND all of them come out great as long as I maintain my rythm. Using a 2 cav. mould basically doubles the rate, but I seem to get more defective ones unless I pay great attention to the mouth of the ladle to be sure there is no metal hanging on the opening. I'm not out to set any record, I try to get the highest # of good bullets per hour. Any defective ones are a lost cast, and go back in the pot. All you can do is get your rythm down and have someone bring you a cold drink now and then. Enjoy. CB
