Hi Lloyd.  Tell us about the hot handles and how did you solve it?   :)

Study after study has shown how dangerous distracted driving is yet people continue to talk on their cell phones while driving. Driving in the U.S. requires your full attention. Many states and countries have made it illegal to use a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle and the federal government should follow their lead. Banning the use of cell phones while driving would have the added benefit of making the no-texting law enforceable.

ive got a lee 00 mold and a #3 and #4 buck sharpshooter. I see some guys with the sharpshooters extend the handles with slabs of wood. I never got around to doing it. I just cast with them using welders gloves. BELIEVE me you arent going to hold on to them long without them.

#3 or #4 Buck?  Both are good sizes!  (because they offer such denser patterns - compared to 00 Buck especially.
 
When casting any of them, does the tiny flat spot where the sprue was cut ..... does that have any [negative] effect [whatsoever] on how each buckshot pellet performs/patterns?
