    25cal hp casting oops

    So, tonight was 25cal night, dug out my NOE 25 cal 4 cavity mold, it casts 3 @ 120gr, 1is a hp, and 1 @ 85gr, smoked up the cavity and the hp pin, was casting really really nicely then……pin comes out of handle, I found the smallest Phillips tip screw drive and tried to tighten it, no joy! I am assuming that it has a tiny grub screw, but to be honest it could also be pressed in? Any one had a similar issue and how did you get around it. Ive a couple HP projectiles cast so I can put them back in the mold and get the appropriate depth , put the pin in and then the handle back on and use a thin nail punch and drive the retaining pin/screw in good and propper or is there a plan B?
