Ok that’s better but still needs more work. I’m getting to the point of “breaking through” with my own casting. The things that seem really critical are temp control, pre-heating the mold adequately, and your rhythm. All the comments made earlier in this thread apply to your situation as well.
That book by Fryxell and Applegate will give you a lot of great information too. It’s free to download and print.

Re: First casting session
I really should have started reading this thread from the beginning.
Started to read " From ingot to target". WAY more information than the lyman casting book I started with.
Thanks again for being a wealth of good information.

A friend offered to trade me a 50-70 trapdoor 10 years ago.
What is a 50-70, I asked wide eyed!
I am still running down that rabbit hole..
