That 120 grainer shoots really good. It is one of the best designs Lee has. Did you moly coat them?? They look like it.

Not real sure of the reason but my Hp's came out a bit heavy? As cast about 208 Gr. The 120 Gr. Tc's cast 121 Gr. from the same pot. I guess the Lymans will just be200's instead of 180's ?
May have been a typo from the ad when I purchased.

What is funny is when I was casting the 45's I noticed how much lighter the mod was after the bullet dropped out. I thought that sure feels heavy for a 180 Gr. I am used to my lee molds they are feathers compared to that Lyman.

since folks use all sorts of different metal in their molds, from straight ww to pure lead Mold companies usually use Lyman #2 as their base line metal when publishing data.
