Tapping bullets from the mold

[DerekP Houston]

Thanks jim, I use bamboo skewers on my vent lines occasionally. Appreciate the explanation and clarification. I love my brass molds too . Had the lead too hot once though and it clogged the lines. Cleaned up just fine with rubbing an ingot on it while hot though will try your trick.

Not sure if people understand there's no banging on the mold here..
Even the very best molds require a tap to free the blocks from each other, and another tap to free all the bullets from the mold.

I'm suggesting a tap to the inside of the wooden handles, rather than the hinge pin.
No beating blocks to death here.

Side note: rubbing a lead bullet or ingot on a hot mold is the best way I've found to clean vent lines.
