Yep, I had two 2 cavity molds and used them to pour bullets that I used in practice ammo for PPC competition.

Loaded them over 2.8 grains of Bullseye.  Same powder and charge under a swaged HBWC was my competition load.

If there was any difference in accuracy, I could not tell.  They shot well enough to keep me in the top of my class and top 20 overall.

At one match I forgot my loads (they were still in the reloading room when I got home).  Another shooter staked me enough rounds for the day.  After that I never attended a match without enough to fire it three times.  I was able to stake a fellow shooter at a different match, with the Lee 150s and he shot a score similar to what he always shot.

Also loaded them a bit heavier and used them on varmints, nice big meplat.

Haven't done much with them lately but they should still be okay.
