That's good. Lee moulds are great value, and being aluminium, heat up very fast - often the first ball is good enough to keep right away. Around £25 for new is not a bank-breaker - unless you buy a whole set-up, like our friend above recently did, buy new, that way you know that it will be good and has not been abused. Lyman are Rolls Royce product, and cost accordingly - mine are mostly around 40 years old or more, and are still perfect. Here in UK we have a Jeff Tanner, a custom mould maker. I have two of his by default - having acquired them from other shooters - I cannot recommend them enough. Even over on West Coast USA I have friends who use his moulds.
