Maybe, just maybe I have as close as I can get. This is the boolit 45 2.1 designed for me. It weighs 520 gr's. I allowed .001" for shrinkage and don't think it is enough. I would leave .002" from now on. I had to recut by hand with a wrench on the cherry and it was still too small so I froze the mould and did it again.
I was shooting for .451 in front of the first drive band and it came out .450. I wanted .4635 on the bands and now have .463 to .464 and I will lap a size die for .4635. These are fresh cast and might grow a little so I will let them sit for a few days.
I might freeze the mould overnight and turn the cherry again after heating the cherry a little.
The boolit is real nice and I can't wait to try it. I also have some great lubes to test too, only trouble is that it is winter.
I will keep you posted when I get a chance to try them.
