If you get that monster hot enough it will give you beautiful boolits. My mold does very good but it sure be heavy.
Absolutely no doubt about having to put the heat to it. I managed to get around 50 last night with it. I had to put the hot plate on high and still had to add some heat to it. LOL

I do have a couple of questions since you seem to be in the know with one similar. When your pouring do you hit each individual hole or simply pour till the groove is full? Also what have you found to be the best alloy to run through one and at around what temp?

The ones I poured are plenty shootable, but lack a bit of fill out. I am sure due to not having the mold hot enough. It was all I could do to cut the sprue without blistering my hand through my worn thin gloves.

I managed to leave my camera in the country last weekend so I am without until I get back up there to get it.
