Well, after decades of casting bullets I managed to break off a mold screw in the block.
The mold is an Ideal 358158 double cavity and the handles are RCBS. The problem is that the screw broke in such a way that the mold block is stuck on the handle. The block can't be removed to extract the threaded portion of the screw the way it is. Anyone familiar with this problem and have a solution?
I expect I'll have to drill out the broken portion of the screw until the mold block can be safely removed from the handle. Any advice to keep from damaging the mold or the handles would be appreciated...
Also, any suggestions for a replacement screw without buying a mold rebuild kit?
Thanks!!
