If anybody is having problems with proper fill-out with these small bullets(Max), you might want to drill out the sprue hole to 3/16ths. I do this all the time for recalcitrant moulds that don't want to work properly. It helped an amazing amount on the 38Slim mould. I was having a heck of a time, had more bad ones than good ones. Now it works very well. If I had to do it again I think I would have made larger base on this bullet. Live and learn. Make sure you clean up burrs on the plate before closing the first time or you might get a gouge.
