Lee Precision 00 Buck Shot-18 Mold

good item

I'm using this mold to make round balls for a .31 cal. Uberti 1849 pocket black powder revolver. After trimming and running through the tumbler, just what I needed. Mine came with handles, even though the ad says different

great mold

Works like a charm out of the box. Great product

I just got the mold and pulled it out to look at it; no 'production' has been done with it yet. So far we're doing alright. It appears that what I've got for my money is a fair deal. I will have to take a pointed diamond sharpener and 'touch out' a couple of small burrs at the top of the mold cavities but that's not critical. Thinking about it now, I could have already just used the tip of my pocket knife to fix that up. The fit of the mold halves seems to be fine and I don't anticipate any problems with poorly matched components or an ill fitted sprue plate; everything appears to line up and fit well. With this sort of mold proper pre-heating will probably be more critical to getting a well formed pour than when casting larger projectiles; smaller cavities will conduct heat away from the lead faster resulting in "weird" castings and poor formation unless the mold temp is sufficient to permit adequate flow time. You can't ding the mold for that really. Just drop your funny shot back into the pot and run it again. I suppose, a follow up report for this product will be in order after a couple hundred rounds or so; that might be a while. In any case, while not being of perfect or of premium quality, this is a perfectly workable shot mold that ought to give plenty of good service for it's price.

You will get a high rate of production with this mold. Once you get it up to temperature you will produce good round shot.

These are terrible for the money $59 on amazon and $25 for handles to make the stupid things work.

Nice mold, took awhile to heat up, but worked fine. Poured about 10 lbs. Need to finish in the tumbler

Buying handles was expensive - Great Mould
