Thought I was in high cotton, found some 3-M Hi Temp tape, got it home and find it's .002+ thick.
From what I've read the best [roundest] beagled bullets come from tape on both half's of the mold. With this tape that would be .004+. I only need about .002 on the nose of several molds including a .225 mold.
I read where some have used .001 shim stock, but they didn't list the "glue" they used.

If I have to beagle a mold I put tape on one side only, it is not needed on both mold halves.

Boolits come out pretty round in most cases.

If you only want the nose bigger then put one layer below the nose of the boolit.

CJ,
Thank you, I'll set up a few molds got 3 different NOE 22's and see what the out come is.
