Does not give good performance from my Marlin XLR with the Ballard deep grove rifling. Are others having this problem with this mold? [img]https://leeprecision.com/mold-dc-c457-500-f.html[/img]

The LEE mold was CHEAP $29, and came with handles, I took the handles and used them with the Accurate mold and threw the LEE mold in the trash.................
