    That would be .452" and .454". Of course that depends on what alloy you're using and hot hot you're casting. The target is the actual size of the mold, but there are variables involved. Some people shoot as dropped, most size to true the bullet and provide more size consistency.

    I have been using CO WW and sizing to .452" using LEE molds and I noticed that most buyers have ordered the .452" mold. Would I be better to order the .454" if I am going to size to .452"? As you can tell I am new to casting and a little confused.

    No problem. I quite often cast air cooled ww and use a .452" mold, then size to .452" which doesn't take much. Most users will want .452" so that's probably the best place to start.

    Unfortunately there's no way i can tell you which size to get.

    Swede,

    There's no way to know at this point how long this buy will stay open. In all honesty I would guess a couple of months. It depends on how many people sign up and what Miha is working on. If he gets slow this may move faster. The faster we get people signed up the faster producing the mold will be.

    Wish I had a set date for you, but it doesn't work that way with these custom molds.

    sign me up for one, too.

    Triggerhappy,

    I guess I better get in while the getting is good. I'd like a .452 with all the pins.

    Thanks,
