Mold Prep Question

[Jeff82]

I use a Lee 6-cavity 357 mold, and have been having problems with the bullets sticking in the mold. I've done the match smoke thing, but am wondering if anyone else has this problem, or preps their molds in a different way. Thoughts?

Toss Lee's directions in the trash, and follow the excellent Leementing process posted above. Boolits from a mould that has been properly prepared (regardless of brand) will either jump out, as the mould is opened, or require nothing more than a gentle handle hinge tap.

I use Kroil first to clean it and if that doesn't work then leementing is in order.
