Great mold
Looking forward to loading up some 270 rounds to do some target shooting and lead up to use in hunting.

Excellent value and quality
After "smoking" the mold and got up to temp it made excellent bullets.

Great stuff
I bought this, along with many others as I have just now got into casting. This is a very lightweight mould, very accurate one to boot. Casting with nothing but wheel weights, this drops just a grain or two heavier than specified, however, it's right on for size. This takes a few minutes to warm up, and my rifle moulds like to be hot (pistol not so much). Most I have are .309 diameter, and they all drop at .310 and .311. You can barely feel them go through the sizer (also Lee), making the wasted lead to a minimum. These are great to learn on, and having the handles included for $20, you cannot beat that anywhere. The one drawback to these is they get really hot really fast. An easy fix is to have a sponge handy, dab it between pours, and the temperature stays where it should. To break in, I followed the recommendation to soak them in mineral spirits to clean them from the factory, and smoke them with a match. I have never had any stick beyond a tap or two. I would highly recommend these for beginners, and I can't comment on the longevity, but from what I heard, they last longer than you...
