I would like to get the measurements of a bullet cast from a Lyman 358665. I just want to make sure it is a flat base and I am
at the correct OAL using the crimp grove for a 357 mag. It looks like the lube grooves are generous. I want to use this boolit for BP in pistol and 20" barrel lever gun. I will be using beeswax/Crisco for lube.

Yes. It will work just fine.

I have a two cavity version of this mold and it works just fine in My Rossi, and it is a flat base, which I prefer, unlike the very similar Lee which has a bevel base.
