UPDATE: I got a PM from Mike and I wanted to be clear, there is nothing wrong with his work. I have been using his molds for 18 year and love them. He refurbished my Smith-Maynard Mold for me a few years ago after I have made Thousands of bullets with it and he again offered to fix the one I was working on, but it was simple work and I did it myself.
Numerous people on the WBR (#2) use his molds and that is how I ended up buying two from him.

I could not figure out why I was sometimes getting some fins on my 44-40 bullets made with my Brass Mold made by Mike "O-Z-ack".
It seemed to have some burrs that stuck out around the bullet cavities.
I tried wire wheeling them off with a Dremel Tool, FAIL.
So I took a razor and carefully either push them back in to place or cut them off.
The mold closes much better and the only problem I have now is some bullets have a little nipple sticking out where the sprue cuts it,,,, I think that is Operator Error. They would not be so bad but they are Off-Center.
Oh, and now that the mold closes, the bullets are 2 to 2.5 grains lighter.
I am not sure that will make much difference since I shoot these out of my Ballard Carbine with 19 grains of 3F but ai guess I am going t find out as I made loads of them.
