These are from a Brand New Lyman .495 Roundball Mold i recently purchased, I was REALLY disappointed with the Sprues, They were UGLY!
This one, a 2 Cavity Mold
Nasty looking Sprues! And nothing i can do from the Mold to Make them better? This is simply how they are, I knew that i wasn’t gonna be able to live with this!! I had to figure out a way to get Rid of them?
Weights were DEAD ON, I weigh every Ball
After some Persuasion, Sweet Talking, those Pesky Sprues are GONE
High Quality Cast Roundballs, These are from my Lyman .535 (.54 Cal) Mold. Sadly the Store Bought Hornady Balls were Pathetic Quality, Weights were off a Few Grains, Banged up, I melted them Down and Re-poured
Removing the Sprues is SIMPLE, I use my Vibratory Case Tumbler (Cabelas Kit model) Empty, No Media. I Sprinkled some Powdered Graphite in the Bowl, It Only takes 30-45 Minutes, The Sprues are GONE, undetectable. The Graphite leaves them Super Slick, Shiny Black
