Did you center the hole on lathe or drill press?I think Lee has increased the utility of these molds with these side pins. I'm not sure why they don't offer a hollowpoint option.

I left this on the lathe and thought about the design until this one. I reread Bob's suggestion again and turned this down a little more to have a little more on the front.My thinking is I don't want to have to put it back on the lathe for an adjustment if it doesnt work.. Also I don't want to make another one. Getting these angles and points of contact is tedious.
