Used it for the first time today and you can make a pile of bullets quickly. And they come out of the mold at + or - .360". I have 358 Win in the works at JES re-boring and hope it will shoot these accurately.

I just fired up my 2 cavity version of this mold for the first time today. It overheated very quickly but made good slugs if i took a short break every 2 castings. Sounds like the extra mass of the 6 cavity verson keeps the heat in check a little better. What are you thinking of for gas checks?
It's a beautiful thing.

Lee's 6 cavity moulds are great moulds for the money. I wish they would have adopted all the boolit styles we had them make in custom group buys a few years ago.
Got some molded up to paper patch for a 9.3.
Got my fingers crossed.
Might try lapping one cavity out to shoot lubed also.
If that bullet is a clone of the RCBS bullet, which I believe it is, it is a very good one. I've used the NOE clone of it in my .358 to great success.
I like those Lee six cavities too. Might have to get one.
I bought one of those Lee 358-200RF six cav molds last November.
It was an excellent looking mold, that cast real well
BUT...
The boolits dropped smaller than I like (.3575 to .3580), so I sold the mold.
I also noticed that the lube grooves were very shallow...more so, than I like.
I guess it would have been a good candidate for PC.
that's my 2˘
