Cast bullet molds help needed marlin 444

[Neo]

I just bought a Marlin 444SS M/G and I am look to do so casting for it but here in Australia I can only find lee molds in .429 but I have notice tha most people use .431 or .430. I am wandering if I can use .429 molded bullets in my 444.

I think .429 will be to small. I use .432/433 in mine. If all you can find is Lee molds, you will have to beagle them to get to the size you need.

In a Marlin, 0.432" is the answer.

I started with .430" die , then went to .431" shortly thereafter . After a couple years with that I ordered custom sizing dies from Buffalo Arms of .432" and .433" . I used the .432" for a little over 2 years and sold it to a friend , now I use a .433" die exclusively for the 444 !
