what are you all casting at with lee molds ?
I found that with Lyman #2 casting at 650 +/- 10 deg. I get real good bullets for 9MM, 357 Mag and 380 acp.
45 ACP and molds that I use for the 454 300 gr. GC Lee mold, meh so so. I have tryed verious temps from 600-nearly 800 and I still get bullets that are shiny on one side and crappy on the other with what looks like inclusions, I will have to post a pic some time soon.
The 45 ACP mold 452228 I have scrubed and cleaned numerous times and still not looking good on one side.
Can I use a little bit of Flitz on the mold to polish it ?
Also after sizing I get a little lead that is like a ring around the base of the bullet. Is this caused by lead that is to hard or a sizer that is to small, Lee sizer .452.
Just trying to pick your alls brain here a bit.
thanks
