Can anyone tell me what the as-cast diameter runs on the big 68569 Lyman minie?

Gee whiz, doesn't anybody here play with bullets over 700 grains?

The diameter depends on how many molds were cut with the cherry and if the cherry was re-sharpened. There is no answer unless you buy a mold and cast them. To get closer to bore size, try Rapine molds. He makes them in different diameters and is a great guy to talk to. He shows a 500 gr Minie at .690 and one at .685.
