last week i rec a 6 cav on a group buy. it is the 360-360 three crimp groovs that jeff ran. after geting the mould up to temp and casting about 150 boolets i notice that the block allignment pen and bushing were loose in the blocks. i could push them back in place with a screwdriver. when the mould cooled i had to use a press to get them back in place. gave it another try and samething happened except one of the bushings came out and i lost it. i called lee and described the problem. they are sending new pins and bushings. said if this did not fix it then the blocks were bored too large and it will have to be returned to be corrected.
i was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this type of problem. if so what did ya do. i was advised by lee to use red locktight. your thoughts.

Of all of the six cavity moulds I have, this happened on one. I used red lock tite and it is no longer a problem. Be careful of the lock tite. You do NOT want to lock the pin into the bushing.

...............Too bad that happened. Sounds like Lee is on top of it though.
