boolits out of round

[medic44]

I'm casting LEE TL 452 230 TC and CTL 312c160 2R. My 45s are measuring .4525 over the part line and .456 at 90 deg. 312s are .3125 over the part and .315 at 90 deg. Is this OK?????

As far as I know it is fairly usual for Lee moulds to throw bullets that are larger parallel to the parting line than they are across the parting line. If yours are larger across the parting line, your mould isn't closing fully.

I agree with Grumpy-I don't think the blocks are closing-check the faces for gunk.

Check your alignment pins...I have had a few lee's lately that needed tapped in a bit to get full closure....

Do they turn out ok after sizing?
