RE: Dip-Casting Bullet Weight Experiments
I ladle cast, and make a point to stir the bottom pot with it before pouring the bullet.
I also put the ladle back in the pot, as the bullet sets up. Have no problem hold'n +/- 1gn weight with my 2, PJ .45 cal. moulds.
I do not use a PID. Just keep'n a close eye on the temp.
I return the sprues, when adding more alloy.
