Update
So, yes, the Lyman molds are cut deeper in the block, so the sprues are longer.
I did some grinding on the top of my Lyman mold so that the "throat" is now negligible. I am going to do just a tad bit more grinding with sandpaper and a sanding block.
Today I cast 650 balls, and here are the sprues that I'm getting with my modified mold.
I rejected about 100 balls because they were quite underweight - - 30 to 50 grains lighter than the average.
HOW DO YOU LIKE MY BALLS NOW? LOL
