I finally found an Ideal 31133 mold but it is missing the hollow point pin. It is in excellent shape so I am thrill with my acquisition. Less than $50 so how could I resist? It will keep my 3118 company on those long winter nights.
I have never used a hollow point mold so I need a few pointers before I make the pin.
The big question is, how tight of a fit should it be? Is it supposed to be retained as a pressure fit when I close the mold? Should it be a slip fit?
I have no problem making a pin but I need to know how it is suppose to fit. I looked on YouTube and I could not find anyone casting with an old ideal hollow point mold.
Thanks,
