I cranked out a small batch with my new Lee OO buckshot mould this afternoon. Like all of their 6-cavity moulds, it takes a while to come up to temperature and cutting the sprues can takes some effort. I found that running with the lead hot and cutting as soon as the puddle solidified on the last cavity made it a LOT easier. Within a few minutes I was banging out six strings of 3 pellets pretty easily. I stopped after a small batch (250 good ones) because the bolt for the sprue plate was coming loose. After they cooled, I tried several ways of separating the pellets and found the best way was to twist them apart by hand. With WW alloy, it was pretty easy - I imagine softer lead might not separate as easily that way. I measured a half dozen with dial calipers and they measured 0.333 and were pretty uniform. I put them into the rubber drum of my Chicago rock tumbler and ran them for 30 minutes without graphite or other additives. They came out SUPER shiny and smooth with little trace where they were joined! You do get a small flat spot where the sprue plate cuts but the other joints are very small. I imagine you could just twist them apart and load them, but they sure are purdy all shined up like that. I can't wait to load some up and give it a try!
