    Default Anyone using Lee Micro Band Bullets?

    I'm looking at getting into casting my own bullets due to the high cost of "ready made" plated bullets. ie. Rainier, Berrys, Xtreme etc., as I have a good supply of lead on hand.
    Is there anyone casting/using the Lee Micro Band Bullets in 9mm, 40 S&W or 45 ACP?
    How accurate are they compared to other cast, sized and "lubed" bullets?

    Trying to keep the cost down by not buying re-sizing equip.

    Also need some used casting equipment, so if anyone has something they are not using, send me an email with details.

    I use the 200gr SWC in .45acp. Accuracy as good or better that other molds I have.Lee push through sizers to be used with their liquid alox lube are only a few $ and should be considered. The molds I have in .45 and .44 tend to drop bullets at .454 and .432 useing the old Lyman #2 alloy. You may or may not need to size, each weapon is an individual. My .45 likes .452 and the .44 likes .430, YMMV.

    Thanks for the reply. As a newbie to casting any advice is appreciated.
    Will now consider the Lee push through sizer.

    I never was able to get the Lee tumble lube aluminum moulds to work well for me.

    My friend likes them quite a little bit.

    Thanks for the reply. Did you have the 4 or 6 cavity moulds?
    If you still have them, I would like to give them a try. :-)
    What moulds did you end up with that works for you?
