OK, I guess, if I want bullets that look like this...
No, that is poor quality control
Yes, good enough.

No sir, not ok at all. I’m with you, send it back.
I'm wondering - how'd they do that? Weird.
Britons shall never be slaves.
How do they shoot and what is the as cast diameter? One of my RCBS molds is very roughly machined, but shoots better than most. Your mold is quite interesting, but after sizing and going through the forcing cone will look a lot different.
i hope your experience is better then my recent one -- i will never buy another Lee product !

Does that go with the Asprely aimless pistol?
Send it back!
Maybe the flutes will help airflow like the dimples on a golf ball? I would try casting a few before I sent it back.

I wonder if this might be just the ticket for Powder Coating .
Those striations on the boolit body may help powder , or whatever type coating is used , stick to the surface ... I know when I paint something ... the paint sticks better if I sand the surface to roughen up the old surface and give the new paint a place to grab on better .
You might think about this mould before you send it back ... it may be a keeper .
One of those accidential discoveries that turns out to be a real good idea.

GWPERCLE beat me to it! I think the striations are unintentional, but perhaps serendipitous. Try casting a few and shooting them before doing much else.

Tool chatter isnt usually that consistent. Looks more like an issue with the servos or ways. May have been a circle pocket type program with to much "step over" in it. May have been to high a feed rate for the cutter, or a missing finish pass. Tool chatter would show on the flat nose also
I'd think the chatter marks would create a physical lock for any cast bullet made in that mold. Depending on where the ones at the part line fall, I'd think the bullet would stick in there.
I would cast a few and see how they shoot? you have pictures before you cast? they may be more accurate than any other ??
I opened a ticket on LEE’s webpage, included these photos
called them this morning
she said that was “ normal “ for larger caliber molds.
i asked why all my other 452 and 429 are completely smooth inside
she said a tech support guy would email me
so far….I am not impressed with Quality nor customer service
