I came across a nice mold on Ebay that appeared to have a pin hole dimple on one cavity. I asked the seller if that was a piece of debris or really a dimple. The reply was that it was intentional--to facilitate easy sorting bullets for accuracy loads.
I have a hard time believing this. It is a two-cavity Redding-SAECO mold, the best I've used, and each cavity cut from with the same cherry one at a time. They will be as nearly identical as possible. And if you were really that demanding of consistency then why not just pour only into the top or bottom cavity when you cast. Why damage one of the cavities?
Or is this some sort of weird practice that I am puzzled by?
It's a shame because it is fine mold otherwise.
