I got a new NOE 5 cavity 92gr 380 mold and for the life of me I can not get a a good bullet out of it. I tried for over an hour to night and I got 7 bullets that would be close to shootable.
Most were so wrinkled or did not fill out worth a damn.
I am using straight WW for my lead.
I have a lee 4-20 pot. I tried setting the mold on the little shelf and letting the lead pour into the mold and I also tried pressing the mold up to the spout no difference.
With my lee molds I usually have it at #6 on the dial. I started there and turned the heat up a little at a time and when I quit I was at #8. The hotter I got it did seem to get a little better.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
