I had three devastator molds in a row that were finning around the hollow point area. I sent the 1st one back to the retailer and the 2nd and 3rd one went to Lyman waiting a month for the testing and returns. Both the 2nd and 3rd both finned finned as well. After round 3 Lyman wanted to refund my money and not exchange the mold a fourth time around. I really had my heart set on casting these boolits so instead of getting my refund so ended up returning the 3rd mold back to the retailer for an exchange. I had been using both pour methods and my lee 4/20 drop pot and was getting finning both ways. Pouring was a little better. I also bought some rockford arsenal pray to try this time time around. I like the boolit and will not give up on figuring out how not to make it fin...but this time with the fourth mold its definitely not me. I called Lyman and their tech went to lunch and the we wasn't at his desk. Apparently he is too busy to call me back. I did send him a picture of the mold as well. The retailer has one left in stock and is going to exchange it for me. Guess I should have got in on the group buy.
This time its not a finning issue. I didn't get that far today. Here's the pic. The "c" clip is about a 1/16 to 1/8th inch away from the bottom catch screw. I figured wrong pin, clip, screw, or it was tapped too far away from the hollow point pin. I went to the local hardware store to see if I could find a wider "c" clip or anything else that might work so it would slide under the bolt. The only ones available were narrower yet. So much for casting today. Guess it sucks to be me.
