Unfy all i can say is after you put your fingers in that your typing is going to be really bad :o :laugh:

I'll have to get a chicklet keyboard.
That is a keyboard with chicklets glued to the keys so my hollow point fingers can hit the keys correctly...
I'll be cross pasting this in the 'improving bullet casting' thread as well... but got a response from Erik about a concern of multiple types of metals in the new mold and if it's a problem etc...
--- Quote ---I say cast as fast as possible and only slow down to keep from getting smears on top! Seriously, you can cast at a pretty good clip and just wait about a 5 count to break the sprue and just slow it down enough so you don't get smears or overheat. Sounds like you have it figured out already. The different metals shouldn't give any problems just make sure to lube the sprue pivot and sliding parts sparingly once
in a while.
Skip the setting the mold down, no need to keep it warmer than the actual casting provides after initial warm up. Erik

Soooo... no issues about the multi-metal-combination stuff. Yay.
Also as a side note - demonstrating how friendly Erik is :)

Turns out Erik's a bit busy at the moment.
It'll take about 2 weeks to get the conversion done.
No big deal.... patience patience :)

LOL, no.
A single guy in a shop can take a while to get through things :P
A couple week wait isn't the end of the world, it lets me do a few other things, like building the muffle box for the small air compressor.
Also debating if to attempt any kind of aluminum or steel casting.

$4 for the plans .... looks highly buildable and workable (eyeballing said plans). Quite intriguing :) ... and I'd prefer it over the gas/charcoal stuff.
