I ended up ordering a 158gr .358 mold. I was trying to get away from Lee molds, I have RCBS molds and steel is just flat out better. My .451 Lee mold dropped the retaining pin and now I need to send it to Lee to get repaired. So I haven't been happy with the Lee quality, but that cheap price gets me every time! $21.99 and a $3.99 Delta dart gets me a set of molds delivered with no shipping fees!

I draw the line at dies though. I am swearing off Lee dies forever and am sticking with Hornady from now on. Hornady dies are on sale $39.99 for a 3 die Titanium set with storage box, extra Decapping pins, adjustment Allen keys and RN and FN seating inserts. Lees carbide are only $7 less and not nearly as good quality and come with a completly useless powder scoop. Also for the rest of the year you get 100 free Hornady bullets with the purchase of a New Diminsion die set. I usually get .308 because those are $33/100. So a set of top quality dies with useful extras and $33 worth of top quality bullets for $40.00. You can't beat that at all!

I really need to save some money up for an RCBS lubriszier and you won't be able to wipe the grin off my face! Sizing and hard living in one step with no mess!
