Looks like Lee is getting better

[Tim357]

I have only one of the new molds. I like the old ones better.
One problem I've noticed with the one I have, is the bottom sometimes will not close all the way.
As I see it, the reason is the alignment pins are only below the handle pivot. This causes the surface to rock up and not close all the way.
If the pins were centered on the handle, or another set of pins were above the handle, I think the problem would be solved.
Also the face surface on my mold was to smooth when I got it. I had to make some vent lines on them.
I's also rather have the old whole block instead of the step block of the new mold.

This pretty much sums up my experience and feeling toward the new molds. They make durn good projectiles, but I really miss the old ones.

I see that they are significantly cheaper, would they be harder to learn on?

No. 2cav or 6cav, take your pick.

I found the fit and finish a bit better on my 6 cavs than my 2 cavs, but except for my lemon of a 1oz drivekey, they all worked fine.

The most recent Lee molds I bought came with a coupon for several dollars (5?) off a Cast Bullet Association membership.

I've got three of the new style molds & one of the old. 2/3 work great but the one won't drop the bullets without hitting the hinge nut repeatedly. It's a 358-158 SWCGC. Overall I've had good luck with Lee molds. Mine are all two cavity.
