Never heard of .255 cal.... Airgun barrels are 0.250" groove, anywhere from 0.243" to 0.245" on the lands.... The only mold I know of is the RCBS #57902 which is a 50 gr. for the .25 ACP pistol.... PBs are typically 0.257" cal (with 0.250" lands), and there are more bullets available in that size.... Unless your airgun is well over 100 FPE I don't see any sense in working with the .257s as they start at 65 gr. (Lyman), go to 85 gr. (RCBS), and then 100 gr. and over.... The 65 gr. will work in a 14" twist, the 85 gr. MAY depending on velocity, for anything heavier you will need a 10" twist rate....

Don I have heard of some LW barrels as large as .255 if that is what you have . Mine are .250 and a .251. Their QC went out the window some time back . Email sent .Marvin
