    Lee 6 cavity sprue lever

    Who do I contact to purchase the improved sprue lever for the Lee 6 cavity mold. My factory job broke.

    It is a Lee "failsafe design", if this does not fail, the sprue will be cut and you will not be expecting it.

    F&M P.O. Box 13086 Hamilton OH 45013. They are about $6. These folks are a Lee wholesaler and charge about 1/3 less than the Lee catalog. They DO have a web site. www.fmreloading.com

    How about Titan reloading for Lee parts, they are a sponsor of this site, unlike fm.

    OP asked about the improved sprue plate, not another Lee.
    I don't really see anything wrong with the Lee plate and have never broke one. I think the problem might be that casters are trying to cut a cold sprue and run out of leverage on the cam. If this happens I insert a flat tip screwdriver blade between the mold and the cam so the mechanical advantage is returned. Lee should have this in their instruction like they do in case you forget to close the plate all the way. Same procedure works in both cases.
