Is anyone here casting with a fairly recent copy of this mold?
I have a quantity of bullets left over from one of these molds which I bought back in the 80s but is now gone. The bullet shot quite well from a Blackhawk .357. I don't think I ever measured the diameter but do recall that when sized the bullet showed heavier sizing on one axis than the other. Recently I miked a few of these and found then to be (as cast) about .358 across the mold parting lines and .354"-.355" the other way. I am wondering if the currently produced molds are better than this?
