You need to have both the mold and the lead very hot or you get voids. I probably toss 1/2 of my castings back into the melt and that's AFTER everything is heated up well. The original Civil War minies were swaged lead, not cast.
Yeah, my minies come out frosted looking but they shoot just as good as shiny ones. Wrinkles I don't worry about either, they shoot good too.
