Lyman 457643 question

[Snyd]

Do any of you guys have any of these boolits you can measure for me? I'd like to know the nose to crimp groove and the overall length of the boolit. Thanks.

nose to crimp groove---.400"

overall length-----------1.040"

Thanks peerless. I'm an ol' Montana boy myself. Born and raised in Whitefish/Missoula for 31years before heading north in 91.

Oh, one more question I forgot. What's the metplat measure? Thanks

[peerlesscowboy]

Near as I can measure the metplat is .320" across, it's quite wide comparatively. My mould drops 'em right on .460" (driving bands) cast from ly #2 alloy.
I've ranched here in northeast Montana all my life except for a couple years when Uncle Sam thought he needed cannon fodder in Viet Nam.
