I decided to check out my new Lee molds, a 405 HB & 500 gr double cavity for my 45-70.
First boolits were very wrinkled but as the molds heated up they looked pretty good, I smoked the molds and used 2 cycle oil to lube the molds, all boolits dropped free, I tried both a bottom pour and dipper, one thing I noticed I need to use a taller bench right now I'm using my B&D workmate and its a back killer plus bending over I can't control the pour as well. I saved enough from the first session to use to Leement the molds but not even sure that will be required.
