Hello
This is my first login on this site. My home is on the Olympic Peninsula in the woods near the end of the road. My Lee molds are for five rifle calibers and four pistol calibers. Never had any problems with Lee molds or their push-through sizers. I am retired now but I cast saltwater and freshwater fishing jigs for my business for over 40 years which is how I got introduced to casting for my muzzleloader and now modern firearms for the last 20+ years. All those years casting lures taught me a lot about lead alloys and how to recogonize the best by sight (and sound).

Re: Hello
Some of my old saltwater resort customers forbid me from retiring so I still make a few 1-4 oz jigs for them. No mass marketers make such things anymore. Otherwise I can go fishing for a change. The molds I use are very similar to Lee bullet molds.

Re: Hello
Yeah, my dad's mold looked like the Lee six-cavity. Set the hooks in the cavities and pour.
