    Defective Lee Mold ! I GOT MY FIRST ONE !

    I recently purchased a Lee #358-158-RF from Titan Reloading. I have purchased several molds from Titan and I am extremely pleased with Dennis' customer service and products. However, this mold has some issues right out of the box. I own 9 Lee molds and nothing but good things to say about what I own. This is the first exception.

    The first issue is poor alignment due to slop in the block channel where the handle is pinned on. The alignment pins don't even line up properly on the handle end of the mold.

    The second issue was a dent in the top of the mold (base section)

    I am currently in the process of getting this mold replaced. I like the mold, I like the bullet, but, this one is a junk heap.

    I was able to cast about 25 bullets and not a single one was a keeper. I tried to make it work, but, it just would not.
