    Lee 2 cavity 45 cal 230 gr RN circa 1990. Worked OK without sizing (I didn't have a sizer) but I eventually wore it out. At the same time I also bought a lee "lead pot" which was nothing more than a steel cup and their small lead ladle. Surprisingly I am still using them. The "lead pot" is now for slag and the tiny lead ladle is still good for fluxing an electric furnace.
