Ohaus 245 K - screw replacement?

[baker1425]

I have no idea when the screw walked out of my DC Ohaus mold - Keith 245 grain 429 mold

it's the screw that connects the mold to the handle.

Any ideas on replacement source? I did a quick glance at the local hardware with no success.

thanks!

baker, I have an O-Haus round ball mold from about 1973. It uses fillister head screw like Lyman molds, looks like an 8-32 but not positive. Take the mold or screw bake to the hardware store and match the thread, even if you have to purchase a round head screw. If you end up with a round head screw just grind the head diameter to fit the recess in the block, it won't matter if it's threaded the full length...Ray

If you have any RCBS moulds give one of the screws a try on your Ohaus mould !

Went to ACE hardware, Ray nailed it as a 8-32. For a buck, I got screws and washers.

Thanks for the help!
