I recently recieved a lee 6 cavity mould and love the fast production but not sure it's worth the trouble. First the spure plate pivot bolt kept coming loose so I installed a set screw. The next casting session I was having problems with sprue plate not closing all the way. When I finished the session there was gauling on the top of the sprue plate where it goes under the stop bolt. When I pulled the sprue plate off there was a bunch of gauling under the spure plate pivit bolt mostly on the mould block it's self. I assume since I installed the set screw Lee won't take it back under warranty. I need help, can i fix this mess myself? How can I prevent it from happening again? Can I polish the top of the mould block with sand paper on a piece of Glass?
Any suggestions other than I give up casting.
I never had any problems with my Lyman, Rcbs or NEI moulds.
Thanks in advance
