    .356 6 cavity mold casting oblong bullet

    I have a Lee six cavity mold that seems to be throwing one bullet that is oblong. Very difficult to get in the sized and when I do it completely removes the lube groves from two sides. The rest of the cavities seem to be fairly good. Three seem to throw slightly undersized bullets and two more just microscopically larger and get pealed down pretty good. Is their a fix or just send it back to Lee for a replacement?

    Send it back or cast 1 at a time. Figure out which is bad and Skip it.

    Do you need it now or can you wait for a new mold.
