Third casting session went better. Probably about 30% rejects. Considering the MiHec was brand new I dont think that is bad.
300 blackout is a NOE .311 230 grain Flat nose. A guy over at CB removed the lube groves. It now drops around 244 grains. 9mm is a MiHec 359-125 (9mm) HP Flat base.

| You should be breaking the sprues by hand, and not hitting the mould with a stick. Even four cavity mould sprues can be broken by hand once you get your timing right. Beating the sprue plate with a stick often springs it, and you can get uneven bases that look perfectly fine. |

I like the sprue facing like it is as i dont have move it all around to get to the sprue. |

I use a small cow hide mallet to do everything. One little tap breaks the spur. |
