Rick,

I used to cast a lot of lead bullets and I had a few Lee Molds. I Have to agree with Hugh that the cast iron type from Lyman are the best. The aluminum molds seemed to "frost" the bullets more than the cast iron ones and i wanted them to look good too. As far as the bullet itself, I had no problems wih them.

The cast iron molds take a little more protectin from rust and this causes you to clean them well before casting. I still agree with Hugh; go with the cast iron type.
