Okay, was able to cast a hundred or so from the new mold. Still breaking it in and apparently have too much trash in my mixture. Fluxed it a few times, but can't get my boolits to come out as pretty as Ben's.
Average weight of boolits dropped from the new mold is 158 grains.
Diameters 12 days after casting are 0.3095 to 0.310. Didn't seem to grow from the time they dropped. Hardness is about 15.
My very unscientific method of dropping a sized boolit in the barrel and marking a cleaning rod indicates max OAL of 2.170 with uncoated, boolits sized to .309 and 2.050 with boolits Powder Coated with a double coat.
It's been raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock for about two weeks now. Supposed to clear up tomorrow.
Do you know how hard it is to take a picture of a black boolit?
Crap, they're all upside down.
