I received this mold the other day, and it doesn't seem to have any of the problems that a lot of people have identified with there molds from Lee (only LEE mold I have).

Using a 10 power magnifying glass.
There are NO gaps in the joining of the mold blocks whatsoever.
The joining of the 2 blocks is flawless.
The bullet holes whether drilled/ground or CNC cut, is as perfect as it could be, absolutely NO off set between halves.
I couldn't find any burrs whatsoever, even by draping a tissue and draging it over all surfaces of the mold, that surprised me!

This was just preliminary investigation of the mold it self as delivered. I had not cleaned it other than washing it off under HOT water and letting it dry before looking.

Just thought some would like to know!

Sounds good........let us know how she casts. I would do a few cycles on a hot plate if you have one to make sure the alignment pins seat.
