I bought a NOE 311-180Gr. FN mold from a member here and got a chance to cast a few yesterday.
The lead was COWW with a little lead printing letters (print houses used at one time) added in (about 10%)
All went well until I ran them through my .309 sizing die. They all came out .3065 to .307!!
As cast was .3095 to .310 the only reason to run them in the .309 die was to make them
more uniform and put the GC and lube on them...
I have a .308 sizing die as well and the same results??? Did not use the .308 die first because my barrel slugged out to .3085
Am I missing something here??? Did I rush the sizing should I have waited a couple days on this?
Any help here is appreciated.
