NO MORE LEE MOLDS.
I picked up a Lee 6 hole 120 gr TC 9mm mold. Of the six cavities one is out of round. One drops at .361, three drop at .360, and one drops at .359. The out of round cavity is .360 on one axis and .358 on the other. It's quite the adventure running them through a .357 sizing die.
I'm going to have to bite the boolit and either pay more for used Lyman/RCBS on eBay or just get NOE/Arsenal molds. My wife is NOT going to be happy to hear this. I guess I'l have to get some pure lead and sell some to afford my next mold.
