Now the real addiction starts; you suddenly have to make more, then more and still more again. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D [smilie=1:

Any idea what it fits, or weighs (Looks real good, and I like the design)? Whose mold &etc.? Thanks, Ted

................Ha! Those look very well done indeed. You know you got it bad when you almost feel bad about shooting them off :-). They bear a passing resemblance to the Lee 458-340F, but the body and crimp groove is a bit different.

They look way too purty and shiny to be real boolits.

they fit a stainless Bisley 45 built by Bill Ruger.

some guy named Lee made the mould.

they are all over the place for weight.
from 249.8 all the way to 250.3
after loobing them with some moly lyman stuff

Now if I can just hit something with them.

You should weigh them before you lube them. That is a pretty close weight spread and probably good enough for your purposes. Match grade 500 gr or thereabouts boolits are usually weighed into half grain lots and shot together. Here someone really picky has weighed them by tenths of a grain.

I'm not to worried about a 1/2 grain in wieght. I can't hold that difference in a sight picture.

Congrats and I'll take 249.8 all the way to 250.3 any day. Ok check my math but isn't that 2/10% [.0002] variance? 250X.0002=.05?..............Creeker
