OK, I'm not cheap but am frugal. Got my first custom mold today. Up to now have been fairly satisfied with Lee's, happy with the old Lyman's I've found, disappointed with the one new Lyman I got, and my one pre-owned RCBS has been sweet. Needed something to help feed my 45apc, and in a moment of weakness ordered one from NOE. Followed instructions and have just finished off a pot, and all I can say is now I know why you'ns buy custom molds. I will now need help staying out of the vendor/group buy sections. To think this all started with a coleman stove, old iron pot and a used Lee mold. Where did I go wrong? Very happy in my affliction..have a good one.
