I load my own indoor home defense loads with #4 Buck instead of 00 Buck. #4 Buck is not easy to find in stores, especially in 20 Ga. Once the mold halves were up to temperature, I cast about 20 pounds of shot with near perfect results. The few bad runs were my fault for letting the mold cool too much while waiting for the next melt. I have been using hand tools professionally and recreationally for over 50 years. I like the placement and size of the handles and the rugged design of the sprue cutter. I also cast lead balls and bullets for my muzzle loaders, .38, and 30-30 using my other Lee molds.

The Lee #4 buckshot mold does work if your alloy and mold is HOT. But when u clip the shot strings with flush cut snips it either leaves a tag or a flat spot on the shot. The spru seems to be too short to get a clean round ball. Maybe I just got a bad mold. But if all the #4 molds are like this i would not recommend them. I have also purchased a .69 cal round ball mold that throws prefect shot. That mold I would reccomend with a 6 out of 5 star rating.

My only issue with this mold is the large flat sprue mark on the top pellets. I separate them from the other two, and use for close range ammo.

I'm always amazed by the precision machined into these Lee molds. Its worth a lot to me just to see the way both halves fit together. I don't know how they do it and sell for only $40. Then I get to keep the mold to boot.
