Drops undersized bullets
457-405 plain base.Using clip on wheelweights with 2% tin both cavities drop at .455" and 404 grains. I never expect much from Lee precision molds. But they are usually exceptable for the price. I can tell that Lee is improving their quality by honing the sprue plate so it won't gall the mold. And they are now staking in place the handle pins that used to fall out unless I staked them myself. Worst of all after spending literally thousands of dollars with Brownells they tell me it will take around 12 business days to receive a replacement, they could've at least expedited shipping.
