Hey all i can get a good price on a .530 double cavity Lee mold.  Anyone have any advice of weather I should get it or not?  It does come with the handles.

Can you get a .535" instead?  S'far as I know, all Lee moulds come with handles. The DC RB moulds are around $16.95 US, aren't they?  That's dirt cheap for a brand new mould.  how much for the 'good deal'?
It never hurts to buy every mould you find at a good price as you never know, you must might have a need for it down the road- or someone you know will.

I've got that very mold and can say it is excellent.  The .530 loads tight enough for me and makes teeny groups past 50 yards.

 Track of the Wolf lists their double cavity molds at $19.25 plus shipping. I have had good success with the Lee molds. They do include the handles at that price. But I would try some different size balls and different patch combinations out of the rifle you are shooting,even if I had to borrow some.Before I spent the money for a mold size I was not sure of.

I'd buy them both - .530" and .535".  A good deal would be just about free, so you'd only be buying one. Consider here, Lyman moulds are now $99.95, whether they're DC, SC, bullet or ball. I think RCBS are about $125.00.  Other makes are more or less in that range.

I will keep you all posted.  I know a guy that has close to the same gun that I ordered and he shoots
 out of his rifle.   My new one probably will not be finished for another two months or so

I have used a Lee double .530 mold for 5 years with great success.
