    FWIW. Pick up an .432 or .433 sizing die and lube without sizing. Buckshot or Lathesmith can set you up.

    Wow...thanks for all the good info. My RBH slugs at .4295...I meant to say that my boolits were not undersized. Sorry for the typo...looks like I may have been wrong on that one anyway. I just miked a few of my NOE 432-200-RF and a some of them are .433. I am going to pan lube some of them unsized and see what happens. Also, yesterday I cast and WD some of my 1/3/96 alloy. I have some really good things to go on now, hopefully I can get a handle on this. Now if it would just quit snowing, I might be able to go shooting.

    No, not slugged. A .430 boolit has very little resistance going through the cylinders. The .431 needs to be pushed through with a fair amount of resistance with the eraser end of a pencil. I just tried a .433 boolit and it won't go through at all.

    .431" Throats and a .4295" Groove sounds like a good combination to me.

    How hot are you loading them? I load Titegroup ang Clays for my daughter, 8-900fps, 5-6g, with good results. The top listed loads for Titegroup and HP-38 always used to give me leading. I use 2400 now for loads from 900fps to 1500fps.

    I shoot .431" Boolits in Cylinders from .431"-.432" and Barrels from .429"-.430".
