Just another reflection on Lee's/MauserBill's "hardness" to pressure theory. I suspect the reason Lee touts this is because the majority of their moulds cast undersize bullets and therefore there is a need for obturation to get them to work, if they made moulds that were better dimensioned for their purpose then they wouldn't need to have bothered with this pressure/"hardness" advocacy.

To all you Lee mould users that are going to tell me about all the Lee moulds you have that cast over size I believe you as I have some of them too, but for every oversize Lee mould I have three undersize Lee moulds. What this really tells us is that Lee's quality control is non existent.

Look at Shellhouse Bullets. They offer the same profiles as GM but use a slightly softer alloy.
