And I need help! I was casting today and on my third pot of 45 acp I noticed there was a small crack between the mould sides. I then looked and the bullets had, for lack of better terms, wings on them. Obviously the mould was not closing completely. I then looked and there is lead on the inside of the mould plates which I assume is keeping the mould from closing. I have 2 questions: First, how do I remove this to fix this problem? (It is a Hardline mould so I don't want to trash it). Secondly, what did I do to cause this in the first place? I think it is pretty obvious it is user error. I went to my 40/10 mm mould to work some more and then found the same thing happening to it. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Next problem, similar but slightly different, is that I have lead in the bolt heads. How do I get this out? I asked this before and thought I was told to heat it and melt it out. I tried and that did not work. Thanks again.
