NOE is going to replace. It seems the pins were not properly aligned and could have ended up causing the damage to the mold.

Its smokes powder. A guy from this form. I actually do two thin coats. With the 300 blackout i actually rub off the powder off the top of the bullet so the driving area is only thickly covered.

Third casting session went better. Probably about 30% rejects. Considering the MiHec was brand new I dont think that is bad.
