Pre-Heating 4 cavity moulds
What I do with my Lymans is sit them on the top edge of the pot as it comes up to temp. Keep them closed as you do this. Usually I get good bullets right out of the gate. Don't put them in the melted metal though.
With my Lee ones I just start casting--don't have to wait as they are aluminum. Down side it they get overheated quicker and have to give the a rest every so often so they can cool--otherwise I get frosted bullets--doesn't effect them other than looks but would rather have the shiny ones.
Hope this helps
