I don't expect to have any issues with this mould . (For the money I shouldn't ) .
But if I should run things a muck where should I look first ?
I have a wash , heat ,cool ,heat ,cool ,heat , cool , pre heat , toss 5 pours , cast 5-7# , cull 25% , fill the pot , repeat the preheat and pour some more cull 10% because I'm more picky than I used to be routine .
I remember now why I've hedged away from brass after reading a number of inconclusive threads at the old place with assorted instructionals that range from open the box , add handles , get it hot and dump some lead in it to a 12 hr process of multiple cleanings and baking 3-5 cakes , (sarc reference to long long long heat cycles) with complete disassembly .
That other thingy is a Pat Marlin pocket luber for maxi/Minnie balls in 50 cal.
Open to suggestions for ease of transition from AL to Brass with pauses for iron .
