MP Molds vs. Lee That much difference for the little money spent???
I've read here how consistent MP molds cast from one cavity to another. How does he do it with so little difference in cost from the Lee molds?
I'm currently casting with a Lee 148 gr. button nose wad cutter mold. The cavities are all over the place. None drop consistant diameters. They range from 0.358-0.360 plus from some cavities. They all have good fill out. The mold was dropping good, sprues cut great, no leading on the sprue plate nor the mold blocks. But the difference in diameter was concerning me. I didn't weigh them, because the difference in diameter tells me that they would be far differenent.
My question is this: for not much more money, is the MP 8 cavity mold that much better than the Lee 6 cavity? How can he do it if Lee can't?
I'm tempted to drop all 800 of the Lees back into the casting pot and order the MP Mold.

I’d say it’s the difference between tooling in a mass production and a small scale production process. Same with a lot of things. The reason an Anderson lower is $50 and a Knights lower is $200. I own both and there’s a marked difference in the quality.
