Yes the daggs are the result of being too hot you have to be careful the mould will warp and leak badly, put very little lube on the pin
Have you tried smoking the mould that helps with Lee moulds, Wait a good 20-30 seconds after the sprue hardens before cutting it and pouring the next slug
that will let the mould maintains an even temperature.
