Thanks Jeff... I was hoping you would reply. I guess I knew I should use pure lead but my pot is full of 20:1 so I'll have to use another. I have plenty of pure lead... Yeah, the base plug is a PIA but this mould only throws 320gr Minnies for plinking. Did not know about filling the hollow base...thanks for that. This is a very nice original 61 Springfield and should shoot well. I won't shoot it much at all but would be fun to play with for a bit. it's mostly just a treasure to have around.
