One gets to where you cast by sight, smell, and feel.
You watch the spurs button turn color. You can smell the right temp in your mold and even your pot, furnace, or whatever. The feel of the spurs cutter lets you know how set your pour is.
I use that to time between pours.
About 5 years ago I sold 75 % of the molds I had acquired over 60 years. I still have about 30. From 22 to 50 cal. I hate casting 22 cal.
44 and 45 cals I use 6 cavity molds.
Then I got into powder coating for awhile. That is another kettle of fish all together. I like it for my 45-70 loads . White for trapdoor, yellow for hunting and red for bruised shoulder loads.
Think I
I will go load some cast in my new 300 blackout.
