I have an old Ideal mold 452488 that I recently dug out after it sitting idol for likely close to 20 or more years. It casts a beautiful 200 gr boolit and I’m using 50/50 old WW and pure lead air cooled for use in a 45 ACP. I no longer use traditional lube as I now strictly PC.
The problem that I’m having is that it casts Boolits that are measuring 455/456. I’m have a very hard time sizing them down to 452 using my Star with the NOE sizing conversion. I even tried the old RCBS lube /sizer.
Looking for any suggestions! I’m thinking maybe I should order an NOE mid range sizing die like 454. Thoughts?
