I picked up these molds on a bulk buy and need some help with them. They are a spring loaded and after I had poured in the lead I can't get the bullet to release and come out. I tried pushing on the spring for the hollow base and it just does not want to come out. It sticks to the spring loaded plunger.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? There are no names or marks to know what they are or what size. I measured the one on the left and it is about .510 or so. They are solid steel and to me look very well constructed.
Many thanks in advance.... Duck
#### Update. I took your advice and whacked them. The one on the right popped right out. The one on the left with the handles did not. There was a bit of lead underneath the pin which was holding it in tight. I replaced the spring to put more tension on the pin and I'll fire up the furnace tomorrow and see if that will resolve the problem.
Many thanks for the assistance.....
