Beagling a Lee mold

[ACC]

Anyone here ever beagled a Lee mold both 2 and 6 cavity.

I like the new 147 bullet they have come out with but I would like to also use it in 38 special and 357 mag. If any one has one of these molds can you measure their diameter.

Yes, I've beagled all three Lee molds I have. Both new and old block styles, both one and two cavity. All three cast too skinny with COWW for the three different rifles I used them in. After beagling, accuracy improved in all three. I might have been able to adjust the diameters by adjusting my alloy, but wanted to keep things simple and stick to one main alloy.

I do stained glass as another hobby. I used the self adhesive copper foil to beagle a Lyman mold, worked great still holding years later. Check a stained glass site, comes any lots of sizes.

ACC- I used aluminum furnace tape. A strip on each side of the cavities and one below.

I also use aluminium furnace tape for beagling, works just fine.
