I have 11-12 NOEs the only one that gave me any trouble was the one I didn't heat cycle before I tried to cast it . It's a 5c 287-150 (hunter) I swear I've never dropped 5 bullets from it , 3&4 all the time . Doesn't matter if I pour 1,2,3,4,5 or 5,4,3,2,1 . Maybe the last run or 2 I got it to pour a few 5×5 .
Wanna talk about a PITA! ...... Yeah brass doesn't patina for fertilizer in the desert . I was soooooo ready to launch that MP brass PB/HB . A dozen heat cycles and as many casting sessions before I got 50 keepers . I know brass has a little different learning curve but when one half is hot to the point of of failure to fill out and the other is cold wrinkling .
It is a very satisfying mould to cast now , but what a hassle to get started .
