Well I had a Charter Arms Bull Dog that I brought home two weeks ago. Last week I picked up a couple of boxes of ammo for the brass. I ordered a 6 hole Lee TL .430-240 SWC mold. It was on my door step on Christmas Eve. Due to family time, and other matters I had to wait to start using it.
This morning I started with its first pour. Well I must not have gotten it clean enough. Even preheated it was dropping badly wrinkled bullets so I let it cool down. I have degreased it with brake cleaner, and cleaned with a tooth brush, and Dawn. I boiled the blocks after rinsing them well.
It is now dried, and preheating again. I will lube it up again, and start casting as soon as the pot gets back up to temp here shortly.
Hope every one had a Safe, and Merry Christmas
