Lee 44Mag HP Mold Casting uneven

[BNE]

I bought an older single cavity 240 grain HP mold. It is similar in design to Lee's shotgun slug molds. It is used, but not beat up.

When I cast with it, the bullets look like the two halves of the mold are misaligned. This mold has the older style v- groves and no alignment pins.

Is there an easy remedy for this issue?

Thanks

I'm surprised you haven't had an answer yet so I'll give you my 1/50th of a dollar. I've had pretty good luck with molds that have the V-style grooves by setting the mold on to a flat surface and then closing it. It seems to help keep everything in alignment. Just set it down, close and cast as normal. Works for me. Good luck.
