The manufacturer of that black spray goo told me acetone. I was used to old trusty rusty iron molds, and the only way to drop respectable boolits was with coating the cavities with goo. I messed up...

Both of my 2's and 4's and the one 19 that came with the press have the groove.

Titan has the X-press Shellplates in stock, I ordered one extra of #2 and #4 for the same reason..

They do make em, just not catalogued. I ordered a bunch of six cavity round ball molds from Track of The Wolf.
They have all of the popular sizes and are nice to deal with.

I had the same thing happen and talked to Lee. They said this is a brand new product and has an engineering feature that can cause this problem. It is the rubber up stop on the lever. They put it...

Are you pressure casting?

Definitely galling under the sprue pivot. Takes about .010" of clearance to flash/fin..

Sorry to hear about your misfortune. Sticking can be caused by the cavities not being centered in the two mold half's.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune.

Holding the mold over the pot, to drop reject bullets will cause these sort of mystery spots to appear. Drop all bullet on a soft cloth or bucket of water, away from your melter setup.

Installing the press lever incorrectly may have caused this failure. The lever must pass through the lever clamp and engage on both sides of the semi-circular cut of the press toggles (gold color...
