I just bought a SURPLUS (17 available when I bought mine two weeks ago) 6 cavity mold for a flat nose bullet .432 diameter from Lee # 90040 TLC4320285-RF for $29.00
It appears to have been originally made as a gas check bullet as the skirt/base is .400 diameter for approx .100" long.
By running a .432 reamer in .050 deep you can open up the skirt to cast a .432-.4325 bullet from pure lead.
OAL is .735 and bullet weight is now 287 grains.
My Vetterli slugs .433 and standard 44 mag bullets are .003 undersize.
Feel free to contact me (or Lee) for a copy of the original drawing for the mold and or my finished cast bullet.
