I have had several new Lee molds that seem to need ” breaking in ” .
Wash it with liquid dish soap & warm water . Scrub with an old tooth brush . Rinse , rinse , rinse .
Scrub with an old tooth brush & tooth paste ( mild abrasive ) . Rinse , rinse , rinse .
Dry the mold 100&
Set your temp on your pot to max and cast as fast and furious as you can . I am talking about running it HOT .
When you start getting good bullets , experiment by gradually turning the temp down . Run the temp as cold as you can and still get good bullets .
The mold should work ” normally ” from now on .
God bless
