    I’m glad that helped. I wouldn’t have ever tried it had I not read about it here.

    If you cast using more than one mold, the process times itself. I cast using four molds of different designs, water drop, so it is easy to sort the bullets at the end of the casting day.

    I never could get comfortable with water and dropping boolits around my lead filled pot ...
    1 drop of water in a pot of molten lead ... that does things you wont believe .
    I drop onto folded towel in shallow box ...different box for different moulds when casting with two ... eliminates the pesky sorting and No visits from the Tinsel Fairy ... !!!
    Besides my reloading building doesn't have plumbing ... and I don't like carrying buckets of water to and fro ... getting to old and lazy to haul water .
