What's LAHSC ?Cast.
you do know Rick is the one that put the LAHSC site together....
quoting to him from it would be like telling Mr. Webster he can't spell.

There's too much varying info that can be confusing at times...... a thicker plate most likely can end it and good feedback about them, too.no problem i just thought you should know.
i've had some back and forth's with Glen who wrote most of it.
long as it's friendly and inquisitive it's healthy.
I actually learned alot from that site..... but there are some things they left out I read else where. A thick sprue plate and a lead insert in the bolt set screws. And a vector free falling.. after clearing sprues. Now I have to get the knack of manipulating the mould while pouring to prevent the plate from falling while pouring. Although It does have up and down play being free falling on it's own. I tried to adjust not to have that clearance but then it doesn't fall on it's own. Now what ? LOLTypo, it's LASC as in http://www.lasc.us/ArticleIndex.htm

Thanks... I'll look into that. And you're signature sounds spot on ! DId a search for H&G, sprue plates and bullet moulds. Don't see a websiteOn sprue plates .
H&G milled theirs bar stock . My 8C looks to have
Doesn't appear they are around any moreH&G appears to have milled theirs from bar stock . My 8c looks like abound 3/8 . Between sprue holes and the canyon cut across down the length of it it holds about the same amount of lead as the 45 cal 196 SWCs .
so why did he have to mention it for ? LOL LOL LOL SMHAnd haven’t been for a long time…
Drop in the sprues as you cast, ok.... I've done it. But I have a small pot, so it splashes.my sprue plates don't flap around in the wind.
you gotta move them if you want them to move.
that's me and my style, i also open the mold with a gloved hand.
i return the sprue right back to the pot before opening the mold.
i do lot's and lot's of stuff you shouldn't do,, but that's how i do it.
