Whats going on with my mold?

[:@] Darn .530 Lee mold just started acting up today. After about 30 balls, the pin holding one side of the mold fell right out. I let it cool, put in back in, got 2 balls and it fell out on me again! I only have about 400 balls on this mold.

I had to pull out the .490 mold and cast some of those to get something out of today.
