So I fired up the pot again today and broke out the 5 cavity NOE XCB mold. Same 90/6/4 alloy as last time water dropped. I paid more attention to my casting technique today. Once the mold was up to temp I focused on a good rhythm and cadence.
I would pour the 5 cavities, tap the mold on the table, hold in front of fan for a 5 count, open dump in water.
This new fan by the way works very well to help keep the mold from overheating. Thank you Mrs. Waco for the gift.
Anyway, I ended up with 18-19lbs of bullets. I'll sort them out in a few days, toss all the rejects and sort them by weight.
