Lee 459-500 3R mold

[beng]

I have tryed to get with Lee, but no one at home. What is the length of the boolit and nose diameter just above the seat area? (459-500 3R) I am trying to see if it will go into my Buffalo Classic. Thanks

Take your question to the Black Powder Cartridge forum to put it in front of more people who are likely to have the answer.
I post there regularly, but have no experience with your bullet.

While you are asking, you might see how many people have had success with that design. I have only heard a few say good things about it.

50/50 lead/ww 1.365" OAL. Nice bullet mold for $20. Takes a few to get used to casting such a large boolit.
