Gentlemen...

And I thought I was the only one frustrated with the Lee molds...My .45-70 405g mold is suffering from the same malady.  I have deburred it with a jeweler's file, lightly scrubbed it with superfine steel wool, degreased and smoked it, and it still sticks!  Mine cannot decide which side to stick it to, either.  There seems to be no reason to it.  The only thing that seems to help is letting it cool a little longer.  I guess I shouldn't expect much from a $17 mold, but it would be easier to deal with if it were at least consistent.  If I happen across some magical fix, I'll post it.

Cordially,

Smith
