Back in the saddle and a new believer in aluminum molds

[Boolseye]

No issues with Lee. Sure, I’ve had one or two that dropped small boolits, only one with a flawed design concept (a 9mm TL, I will say no more) and upwards of 40 that do their job just fine. Lots of NOEs and a few Lymans and Accurates too...90% of my molds are aluminum.

Everyone needs to chill.

Aluminum will never be as metallurgically as strong as steel. It does possess qualities that make it suitable for mold material. Many of the original mold gurus went to personally casting with aluminum because it weighs less and prevents wrist fatigue.

Choose whichever material you want. They all produce shootable cast boolits. The reason we’re all here.........
