I have a new Lee .58 minie mold and am having trouble with the screws. My other Lee molds work fine but with this one I have to stop every few rounds and tighten up the sprue cutoff plate screw and the one for the core pin. Anyone have that issue or have a solution to that issue?
 
Locktite and lube the area where plate pivots. Worse case drill and tap from side for set screw and add a flat spot at the set screw on the cut off plate screw.
 
Each time I've had that issue, it was a Lee mold. Solution is drill and tap from side for a set screw to lock it into place.
