Jack,
I have about 6 Lee moulds; mostly for my muzzleloaders. The .58 caliber Minie mould went "South" after two casting sessions. The halves do not line up and it is a pain to realign the blocks each and every time on that mould before I pour more lead. The other Lee moulds are 3 in ok status and 2 in junk status. Conversely, I have iron Lyman single and double cavity moulds that I have used a lot since the early 1970s and the blocks still line up. Lee moulds are like Lee reloading tools, in my view, they will work after a fashion for a time, but they just do not seem to have the "guts" of better made tools. It may just be the difference between price and value, in my experience. Adam

I bought two Lyman molds one with handles at an estate sale for $25 each both still had the last bullets cast in them,I keep those bullets at my reloading bench as a reminder of the old gentleman caster.
I don't store my blocks with bullets in them,instead I just give them a good coat of USP Mineral Oil as Ed Harris instructed me to do,you don't have to wash the mineral oil off as as Mr. Harris told me it simply burns off when the mold is heated and will leave no residue. Old original bullet pulled from mould  Newly cast bullet
