| True, I set my mould over the pot while the lead is warming.
Never mistake motion for action.

| I have a 9mm 125gr Lee aluminum mold that one cavity always has what appears to be a blemish. I have tried a lot of different mixes and temp and on and on and it is still there. I powder coated a bunch and shot them and they shot good. |

| A cheap hotplate from Walmart or a thrift store to heat the mould is valuable far beyond it’s cost. |
