Howdy all,
Newer member here, been dabbling in casting for five or so years, starting to pick up speed and work up loads for everything we own. The first mold I bought a lee two cavity 230 gr RN managed to get some lead in the alignment pin cavity yesterday. Tried to pry it out with a small awl but didn't want to scratch the mold face if it slipped when I pressed harder on it. Curious how more experienced members think I should get it out? I'm considering trying to take the pins out and then following the instructions in the lee-menting sticky. You can see it in the close up, giving me a bit of a headache mold doesn't want to close flush on the first try because of it. Thanks.
