What you might have picked up on here is the amount of extra metal that appears to be wasted, metal casting will always have what appears to be metal wastage, with aluminium, the waste and off cuts are fed back into the crucible for remelting, nothing is wasted.
It is far better to melt too much metal than not have enough to complete a pour.
