Well made a very big mistake tonight, it's all my fault, but lesson learned. Decided to cast up some 45/70 with a brand new NOE mold. The mold had been cleaned and broke in just like Al said to do, and just like I've done for my other 6 NOE molds. so I brought the mold up to temp letting it heat up on the Saeco while the lead was melting, started casting and had wrinkled bullets so warmed the lead up to 675 let the mold to heat up a little and bang started pouring good bullets. But I got caught up in the casting that I didn't let the mold cool enough after a set number of pours, granted I was not getting any frosted bullets, then it happened Mold to hot the front alignment pin sunk into the mold on a bullet dump, didn't catch it closed the sprue plate and slightly gouged the top of the mold. Now I've got a 100.00 mistake (my own). Really sucks. I even bought new handles for this mold, and still not ruling out that they may be misaligned as well. lesson learned
