Just got done casting some more, man is this addicting.
I noticed before I started the sprew plate was stiff, I passed it off as a heating cooling thing, apparently not. I also noticed the molds don't line up in their groove unless I bump them around a bit. To top it off the pin in one of the molds falls out. Now this is a typical Lee double mold.
What are some things to keep this to a minimum in the future, specially the pin falling out, I cannot seam to keep it in. What am I missing? What are some other items to watch for and make maintenance to make the mold operate better and last longer?
