    Managed to cast bullets with the new .43 Spanish bullet mould today. 42 bullets, of which 40 were within 1 grain of 369.0 grains as cast. Never had a mould release bullets so easily!

    Another first: Managed to get burned in a 1/2" round spot (2nd degree) just above the collarbone. Not quite sure what happened, except when the flux lit off it made me jump a bit- whilst stirring the pot... Not too bothersome so far.
