Nice work, those shoot nicely in my experience.
I cut my Lee mold to eliminate the BT thus casting a FB bullet but I've since moved on to a brass mold from NOE.

Which NOE mold are you using?
What did the bullets weigh after you cute mold block down?

This one: TL310-225-RN-CE3 2 cavity PB Brass = $85.85

I have never bothered to weigh the bullets from the Lee mold after I modded it, suppose I could if there are any left in my stash.

I'm sure it would be less than the NOE 225. I thought you might have gotten the 240+ mold.

How did you cut the mold?

You'll like those. I cast and coat those for a friend that loads them in his 300blk.

How did you cut the mold?

It was years ago when I had access to a milling machine. We made up a drill bit of sorts with some round stock then ground away one side to form a cutting edge. Lined up everything and basically plunge cut the BT section of the mold.

One cavity came out okay but when cutting the other one we rushed it and it was not aligned properly.
