JR,

The way I've heard it explained, no, leeching won't be a problem with molds. The heat levels to which molds are exposed aren't nearly as severe or prolonged (you get signfiicant cooling when you open the mold to drop the bullet), and their time in contact with the lead is also relatively short.

I know more than a few people who still cast heavily, and have been using Lee aluminum molds for decades with no problems. One of my friends casts at least 30,000 bullets a year with Lee molds.
