I just got a Lee 405gr mold to start casting for 45/70.
I cleaned the mold and broke it in. I was able to get good bullets from it before very long.
However, the joy quickly faded when I put the micrometer on them. I'm measuring them at .4565 give or take a couple 10,000ths.
I was starting to doubt my mic so I measured some .45acp bullets to compare. The mic checked out there.
I bought a Lee .457 sizer with the intention of opening it up a couple thou. I tried the new .457 sizer, and the new boolits didn't give any resistance at all.
I've never had to call Lee before. Would they entertain a return? If they did, would I just get one cut with the same cherry?
I've lapped a Lee mold in the past as per the "Lee-menting" threads here to get it to work better. But I've never tried to hone out a couple thousandths before.
Any advice beside saving my pennies for an NOE mold?
