To BLE,

I am convinced that the Lee (aluminum) mold fluxuate in temperature more wildly than the Lyman or Ideal molds. They come up to a stabile temperature more quickly (as indicated by the fact that consistent castings are reached after only six or seven bullets while the steel molds produce more than twice that many rejects.) So that says to me that they would cool and heat more quickly during the casting run.

To Oldfalguy,

Best way I can describe it is to mention the spring loaded clamps that they sell for about a buck and a half. You squeeze them and they open and let them go and they close.

The mold handles work the same way.

I'll take a picture and post it.
