I have one of the new style Lee molds with alignment pins. It has one pin that comes loose when it gets hot. Has anybody fixed this themselves without sending it back to Lee? If so what did you do?

Thanks in advance.

Roll the pin between a file and a hard smooth surface, it will make a light knurl and increase the diameter a couple thousandths.

Very effective method!

Thinking I'll need to do this with a hot mold, right

All in all I think the new pin design is better than the old design, hope you can get it to work.
