If you’re having venting problem, take a fine stone and swipe the top of the mould where the halves meet. Not a big bevel, just a few strokes to show a “shine”. Both sides. This will be enough.
Want to sharped the sprue cutter. Chuck a #10 screw in a drill from the bottom of the plate. Pull down and give it a spin or so. Follow up by polishing with a flat stone, lightly lube and cast./beagle

On one of my moulds, the Ideal single cavity vent lines on the bands came short. Interestingly, the bullets filled out rather well, but not quite enough, probably doable but was wondering if it can be worked. If not I’ll buy buy another mould. This time check it out more thourghly before buyin one.

Borrowed a laser thermometer from a friend to check mould temp.
