I'm going to pull the milsurp brass and get some more loaded up. I only loaded ten the first time and I would like enough to check with the chrono and some left still for accuracy testing. I'm thinking three groups of three for each of them. And this time I'll try some other ammo to make sure I'm using the chrono right. It bugs me that it didn't record that one shot.

I gave the chamber a drop of WD-40 last night and let it set. Then this morning I pushed a .40SW bronze brush down the bore and pushed it super slow this time. I could feel it grab and start to go through it then it just fell free and you saw the result.

That's how I took it. I have to go to the court house tomorrow or I would head back out. Gotta pay the tax man some more money. My own fault for waiting until the last minute.

Correct, and I bought the six cavity. I seem to have mostly bad luck with the new two cavity design. They heat up way too fast for me and yet they cool down just as fast. I cast a mix of not quite perfectly filled bullets with them or cast a lot of frosty bullets. I just did a small bit and got too frustrated to continue.

My bad casting with a new two cav mold:

And yet as soon as my six cavity workhorse mold came to temp:

I'm sure it's just something with my technique but I can't seem to juggle the temp swing just right to cast with the new two cavity. I never had this problem with they were the old cube blocks.

Anyways, before I derail this any further...

Sounds like it might have been aided by temp changes as well as the lubricant.
