    I would not recommend putting aluminum in an ultrasonic cleaner, other metals are OK.

    Yeah... learned that lesson the hard way. I have two molds that have to be tapped on the bottom to achieve good lock-up.

    Most of the old style lee moulds I've run across need a tap on the bottom to get them closed.

    These didn’t before I cleaned them so I’m assuming the cleaning caused the pin holes to widen.
