I’ve got one of those Lee aluminum moulds for my 45/70 that casts bullets out of round and .001 or so too small. Even though it’s new I started to pitch it, but with time on my hands have considered lapping it. I’ve lapped many steel moulds and had success, but never an aluminum one.
So my question is lapping done just like a steel one, or is this thing just cheap unworkable junk and should I have known better than to buy it?
By the way I’ve always used linotype slugs, cast in the mould to be lapped, because they seemed to give me better driving band edges and lasted longer.
