No problem with the pin, make sure it’s brass, 1/8 - 3/16 inch brazing rod, loop on one end, just pass it thru an oily rag before inserting in the mold, the lead won’t stick, hook the loop over a nail in the bench and give it a pull, rod slides out, open mold and drop sinker. I’ve done thousands of egg sinkers with commercial molds over the years, they all work the same way. It’s not much more trouble than casting hollow points.
Talking about hollow points, I've got a Lyman 45/70 hollow point mold that's almost new. Maybe a hundred casts made in it. My 45/70 doesn't digest lead bullets very well. If anybody is interested maybe we can trade for something...
