Had a nice session w my new mold from MP. The 6 cavity 9mm 147gr in brass.
22 lbs of production later, the RCBS promelt 2 is now officially clogged. Emptied the whole thing out and the tip is clogged w metallic substance. Propane torch doesn’t seem to be melting it. I hope some of you will have some suggestions. Murphy’s law, get new mold… now pot is acting up.
I had it running as high as 775 today and as low as 725. At 725 it wouldn’t take a new 1lb ingot without starting to loose viscosity, so I went back upwards and it ended up clogged after a while back at higher temps. I was able to keep unclogging it with a metal wire up the nozzle, but eventually even that wasn’t working so I ended up ladling it out and photos above is where I’m at now. Oh, the pleasures of casting
