Yes, that HP pin needs to stay HOT. Ignore a bit of sprue
tearing, if need be - as long as the outer edge of the base is filled out and sharp, you will not notice any difference. These aren't BPCR bullets fired for score at 600yds.
If visual imprefections bother you, try this: save ten rejects, load, and segregate. Shoot them in a group (at typical distance you would use the load) and compare to a ten shot group of "good" bullets. Do this on the same day, light conditions, etc. Then your reject decisions will be made on evidence.
