When all I could afford were single-cavity moulds, I rationalized that they "made better bullets."
NOT cirticizing or poking fun,
@johnnyjr . I understand your point and it would normally make perfect sense if not for what we can buy today.
Forty years ago, I probably could have shot bullets of three different DESIGNS from a five-round magazine of a rifle and not seen much difference.
Thirty years ago, I wouldn't have personally seen a difference in a good-quality 4C or LEE 6C.
Twenty years ago, I could pick out a "bad" cavity in a LEE 6C.
Today,... I've slipped some in skill, patience, stamina, physical fitness, eyesight, but all the moulds I've kept/still use are really good 4C NOEs or Arsenals and a few late LEE 6Cs, which probably produce much better bullets than I personally could have lived up to even when I was shooting well years ago. Today's CNC moulds, I think, are more consistent across four or six cavities than a lot of older 2Cs I've had in the past.
I don't think a fella could go wrong in quality OR money on today's custom moulds, in fact, they are a screaming bargain and you get to deal with some good people to boot.
