I have a Lee 6 cav mould that has an alignment pin that keeps coming our of the block just enough to give a gap between the blocks. I have pushed it back in 4 or 5 times but now it comes out after a few casts.
Pins are lubed with Bullplate before and during use.
Any way to keep them where they belong? I have even though of pulling the pin entirely, drilling for a set screw, and using that to heel it in place.
I don't know if preening the Al blocks a bit would keep the pin in place or not.
I am sure an adhesive won't work as the locks get too warm for most adhesive that I know of.
I really want to keep this old, it is from an old Lee group buy and it is my 45 Colt bullet of choice.
Any reasonable suggestions?
