These are from a Lee 6 cavity mould. Bullet weight is 105 grains, SWC, 9mm/38/357 caliber.
A picture is worth 1000 words.
Upon opening the mold, I noticed that the boolits hung up consistently out of two of the cavities. They had to be tapped or flicked out of the cavity with the aid of a fingernail tip. During sorting I found about 20-30 % of my precious boolits had cracked front driving bands. Bummer.
What do I do to keep this from happening? Polish the cavities, perhaps? If so, how do I do it?
FWIW I use a Lee bottom pour pot and Bull Plate lube.
In my defense I would say that the deep lube groove design of this mold is part of the problem.
Thanks in advance.
