To be more specific
1) Where do you start filling the 6 cavities?
a. doesn't make any difference.
b. always start at the hole closest to the handles.
c. always start at the hole furthest from the handles.
d. alternate the holes beginning where?
2) What's the ideal distance, in inches, of the cavities from the pour spout.
3) Do you pour dead-center into the cavities or off to one side?
4) Do you keep the mold as steady as possible or can you shake it a bit.
Just to stimulate your imagination.
Still not enough info, which furnace do you have, what WAS the lead you're using?
Since you're asking about spouts, I ass u me it's a bottom pour pot. As for which end, it doesn't matter a lot, whatever floats your boat. I usually pour from the back forward, pulling the mold towards me. If my timing is off a bit, then the overflow simply goes off the end of the mold. By that I mean if I don't stop the flow in time.
I do NOT hit each hole separately, I open the valve and keep it open as I draw the mold towards me. That means the lead is simply
flowing into the cavities. I form a solid sprue that overfills the holes 400% for a lot of lead for the bullet to draw from as it solidifies.
Again, ASS-um-ing you're talking about a pistol caliber????¿¿¿¿ Which one? Or is it a rifle bullet?¿
Oh, and don't jiggle a mold,,,---
EVER! Vibration will result in out-of-round bullets, round bases and other imperfections.
Come up with more details, we'll talk further.
