I was looking at Saeco bullet molds brochure that I found on Redding's website and in the instructions for use it said that if you cast at higher temperatures your bullets will shrink more as they cool. Is this your view?
When I first started casting I did not have a thermometer and was happy if my bullets were completely filled out and shiny. I then got a thermometer and heat my pot to 725 degrees and get frosty bullets. this seems good as I tumble lube them and they shoot ok.
Should I go back to a lower temp? what is that temp? to reduce that shrinkage?
Thanks
