I would like to start casting to save money on bullets. It will take a lot of time to break even on the venture if I have to put out a lot of cash initially. That being said, Lee molds cost a lot less than others but you never read the magazine writers talk about using them. Lee is a growing company so people must use their molds as well as their other products. The only obvious difference I see between Lee and the others is that they make their molds out of aluminum. Are the steel molds that much better to justify the very significant cost difference of a mold and handles?
