Using a Lee 9 mm mold 2 cav. #356-124 I cast about 100 for a friend who loaded them but said they seemed to sheer off lead when seating. I got around to CK this out and found that the mold 1/2s miss aligned by a lot // I Mic them and found at least .0100 off---junk/// So I sent it back to Lee service and in about 6 days I got a new one// looks great and Ill cast some tomorrow/// Great service// Perry Now if these .356s cast at about .358-9 I'll try them in the LCRX .38 w/o sizing Perry

I received the same service from Lyman earlier this year. I sent them a 30 cal bullet mould that was also misaligned and they shipped me a new mould.

I had to stop buying LEE molds. Have gotten nothing but junk since the new style molds came out. Noticed that the “Made in USA sticker is no longer on them either. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
If someone else had of done to me what I did to myself . . . I'd have killed him. Humility is an asset. Heh - heh.
