I’m embarassed to ask, as a search for an answer came up with nothing which means I am the only one having this problem.
I cannot get my Lee HP molds to release the boolit from the HP pin. I tried polishing it (not too much to change diameter and have alloy leak past), smoking, commercial mold release, banging it, and grabbing it with gloved hand. The gloved hand worked but had to twist and manipulate so much that the hollow is crooked. Same story on two different molds, .45 230 and .358 158.
Surely there is a trick I have failed to read about. I feel a ‘Doh! coming on, but I give up. Let me have it.
