I special-ordered a Saeco mold a few months ago and finally got around to casting with it yesterday. Turns out, at lease two of the cavities are far from round...polygonal nearly. I'm bummed because I spent three hours yesterday casting. Didn't notice the problem until I went to size them today. I put in a help request online at the Redding website. I hope they take care of me.
sorry to hear that ! ive had over 20 saeco bullet moulds over the past 40 years and never had one give me any problems !
Except the one i bought off EBay the mold was only cut for a bullet on one side of the mould blocks the other half was a blank ! he refunded me my funds along with my cost of shipping both ways.

I just sent back a Saeco 41 cal RFN for out of round, undersized, and blocks not lining up on one end.

I have never had a problem with any of my other Saeco molds so I hope these are just some brain farts or something.
I wish you luck. I had this same problem with one of their molds a year or two back. They sent me three replacements, all three had the same polygonal look to them. They acted like they there was nothing wrong each time I sent it back. They lost my business for life over that.
My experience with Saeco molds is very different, I have many 2,3, and 4 cavity molds of theirs and everyone of them is top notch, my favorite molds to cast with, more so even then any of the custom molds I have. Maybe they've got someone new that can't see straight.
Hehehehehehe!!!

Update...I just got a replacement mould back from Saeco. So far it looks correct. I'm concerned that they only sent two example cast boolits, when it's a 4-cavity mould. I'll cast some this week and hopefully this is the end of my troubles with this.
