It is fun to window shop sometimes.

JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
Some of these look interesting but no pictures makes it hard to jump on.

Are all those molds in the pull down box for sale? If so, they must of had a lot of overruns.
You can get an idea from the picture of the mold cavities. For $25, if you find something interesting, how can you go wrong. Of course, if you have to buy handles, that is another story. I've got many handles that fit Lee six cavity molds.

Ty was going to order me some 450 bushmaster dies and added a mold to the order.
The mold I would love to have is listed as "coming soon." Weird.
When you care enough to send the very best, send an ounce of lead.
If you click on a caliber, it generates a pic of the mold.Originally Posted by sukivel

Same here
For some reason I can only see the pictures for the first two in the list.
I stumbled onto that yesterday.
Several have photos and several don't. There doesn't seem to be any order.
many can't be ordered yet as it says "coming soon" in the quantity box.
A friend on another forum ordered one (a heavy 44, I don't recall the numbers), the ship fee is around $15...so that $25 isn't as tempting when you figure shipping. I'm waiting to here if the boolits drop near spec...or not? It seems weird they have these overruns for $25, unless they have been rejected by the Buyer, due to being a little out of spec. Back in the Day, Ranch Dog told me about his approval process with Lee for customs, and I know he rejected plenty.

They could ship one of those 6 cavity molds in a small flat rate box. Might have to remove the sprue plate handle but $15 is too much for shipping. I have a bunch of those GB Lee molds and it got to be a pain to keep them in the original boxes. I removed the sprue plate handles and put them in a separate box and store the molds in a sealed, gasketed box. Takes up about a fourth to a third the room on the shelf.
I had forgotten that several of the Lee GB's had to be returned because they were not according to the furnished specs. I doubt that anyone remembers the problems with individual molds now. That was several years ago.

Yes, $15 for one. But I added 3 to the shopping cart and shipping went up to a very reasonable $18.50. And after all, they are 6 cavity molds. But still a lot of question marks around them. Nothing that floats my boat, so I won't be of any more help here.
But that reminds me, I have to return another Lee mold with off-center cut cavities. One of the new style, too, C309-170-F, bought last February. Got a C312-155 at the same time the drops boolits like rain, C309 holds onto them in left side for dear life, because, near 190 degree cavity on that side.
I give loading advice based on my actual results in factory rifles with standard chambers, twist rates and basic accurizing.
My goals for using cast boolits are lots of good, cheap, and reasonably accurate shooting, while avoiding overly tedious loading processes.
The BHN Deformation Formula, and why I don't use it.
How to find and fix sizing die eccentricity problems.
Do you trust your casting thermometer?
A few musings.

There`s something unsettling about the `as is condition` of the molds and the nagging feeling that these could be production rejects.Robert
The tumble lube 312-190F sounds interesting.

How can an item on clearance be “available soon?” That statement, along with the no returns policy on them gives me cause to shy away... maybe OK, but I don’t need any of them seriously enough to take the risk.

Still can't order one as of now.
I ordered the C358-260 got an email today saying it's shipped. Guess we'll see what happens.

Its just the web page design, basically its the only other option besides something along the lines of “choose this opion” etc.
Very tempted by one of the 429 molds, but dang, $16.80 shipping? Plus tax? $45 for a mold thats “on clearance”. Can get em shipped free from Amazon for that. Hmm...
Edit; Decided to buy it anyway. Asked if they would ship via flat rate box, we shall see.
