people call the Lee stuff, but for the £s they are spot on,
I use range scrap with some pure lead mixed in as I find it to hard on its own,

It's interesting that you get such good results with your Lee moulds. I have one for my ROA that is spot-on, but my bigger Lee moulds are a disappointment, to say the least.

In .45-70 I have three - a 300, a 405 and a 500gr. Respectively, casting bullets for my Uberti High Wall they come out at 315, 425 and 520gr. I've now gone back to buying the 405gr bullets I'm currently shooting.
