Thanks!

This is a great mold for the .401 wsl. There are two different version molds one had a flat-base and the other a bevel-base. They come up from time to time on the E site. Single cavity are most common, the dual cavities are extremely hard to find. Hope this helps!

Check this mold out if you have a long wait time from Lyman.
My 400 Corbon 1911 loves this LEE 145gr SWC. It comes out at close to 148gr with my standard alloy and after sizing/lubing. It didn't care at all for LEE's bigger 170gr Truncated Cone bullet but their light bullet is the bee's knees.

I use a Lee .401 push through sizer and it sizes up nicely. I'll pull an unlubed as-cast out of the box tonight to give you a reading for pre-sizing.
