I've got an old H&G hammer mold, a lead hammer beats any wooden mallet I've ever used! I was really lucky to find it.

It seems lead would be a bit heavy for working the sprue plate of a mold or taping bullets out.

I have been checking his site for a TLC-359-175 RF but haven't seen them in stock. Pretty impressive shop he has.

This is @ 30 yrs to late, for me!
I have learned to use a hammer handle (wich is way cheaper) and i dont need the shape.

Sorry Lee but if you made a wet tumbler i would be over it like a pack of dogs on a 3 legged cat!

I cannot believe they aren't adding their name to it. A laser burned in "LEE" on the handle or something would make it more enticing. As is, I just open the two cavity with a gloved hand usually.

I agree. "LEE" cut into it along with "Made in USA"
