Lee cast bullet molds

I use my old 10lb pot to keep my 20lb pot going. No slow down waiting for lead to melt.
I use Bullshop lube on all my mold's now. But in this one I tried it in the cavities and you know what? It worked great! No more sticking bullet's.
I also have a couple LEE 6 cavity mold's, and a couple Ranch Dog mold's.
Casting 6 450gr bullet's empties REALLY quick!
 
Found LEE to make a decent design but the sprue cutter has a tendency to gouge the mold top, the sprue cutter bolt constantly comes loose, and the hollow base plugs misalign when closing the mold resulting in heavy premature wear.
The loose bolt was fixed by drilling & taping a 10-32 set screw in the side of the sprue cutter screw this helped reduce wear between the mold and cutter, as for the base plugs......live with it.
As for sticky bullets I smoke the molds with candle soot....I've heard spray Molly works too but uh....
