If you can't find the parts you might want to contact Eric at Hollowpoint molds.

Eric or our own Buckshot can set you right up with just what you need.

You are missing the hollow point pin. IME, even if you are fortunate enough to find one, it will be slightly different in size from the one that was matched to the mould. I have a similar partial match in a 429244 HP mould, and I have to hold it carefully when I fill it to keep the pin from wobbling off-center. Better to make one, or have one made, that's a good sliding fit in the hole in your blocks.

If you have a lathe and a drill press, it's pretty easy to make one from a piece of 5/16" or 1/4" rod and a piece of wood. You could probably do it with a drill press and a file, and some patience.http://castboolits.gunloads.com/asset.php?fid=71220&uid=328&d=1372627020

Dunno what happened with that picture, but the link is the same as the enclosure.

Send it to Buckshot & let em custom fit 1 , money well spent & it`ll be as close to original as possible.

I`m still "out to school" on the larger HP cavitys .
