I’m new to ladle casting and could use some advice.
What’s the best way to get fill out when ladle casting? I’m trying to get another .0004 - .0005” nose diameter on a single cavity bore rider design brass mold from Accurate. I’m using Linotype, cadence of 22 seconds, 700 degrees alloy with the running mold temperature 340 to 350.
I tried a ladle casting version of “pressure casting” starting the pour with a full ladle and keeping the ladle snout tight to the spruce plate hole for 3 to 8 seconds after rotation of the mold ladle. I can get a consistent .3005” nose but my rifle bore is oversized and I need a little more to reach the lands. Bullet weight is pretty consistent at 213.9 +/- .002.
Thanks, Bill.
