Try this; Make 1/2 round in one side of the mold. Align that to a flat raised area on the opposing mold half. When you demold the lead you have a half round piece with a flat key way down the center. Put two pices in the plug so the keyways make the through hole.

This is much easier than trying to keep wire aligned on centet in the mold.

I pour my own but if you can buy the size you need just buy it. I now only pour what I can't buy. It seems expensive but after a hour of pouring/wearing stupid big gloves/mess ups and all the other trouble I wish I would have just spent the 5 bucks.

Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.
