I have cast with it but don't remember the size bullets of hand. I would check tonight but everything is packed up in preparation for a move. If I happen to have some out I will check them.
At one with the gun.
Contact member "hardcast416taylor" here at Cast Boolits. He has a lot of experience with the RCBS .416-350 with various alloys; and can give you an idea of weights as well as what diameter you can expect as cast from the mold.
Hope this helps,

Mine does .417"-318 grains on straight lino
PS: i use it in a 10.15x61R Jarmann BP cartridge, works a treat.
This is a great mold. I use it in a Rigby and Taylor. In Linotype I get about .417 diameter and it weighs 330 ish with gas check and lube. I shoot it as cast with great results. In wheel weight it is a little bigger that .418 and weights about .345 with gas check and lube. Shot as cast it works very well, 50 cent size cluster at 50 yarsd at about 1900. Crimp the GC by starting bullet in my lubrisizer, my sizing die is either a 416 or 417, don't remember which right now. "finger" lube with LBT soft blue as I seat them.
A great mold, easy to cast with as all RCBS molds!
