For those of you who are casting this bullet.
What dia are they being thrown at?
I am interested in one but I think I may need a slightly bigger dia that what these are casting at.
thanks.

I have a TC mold and it casts 542 pretty consistently and weighs an average 417 gr. as cast. Dale

For anyone interested we had MT. Mold Dan cut a 420gn 54 cal mold that was designed short enough for 1/48" twist barrels.
We are offering these at from .538" to .544" in .001" increments.

Question: Maxi Ball, Maxi hunter?? There is a difference. mrmom casts a
"maxi" that is 464 grains. It's a brute and a pic is on my "several projects coming together" thread. I bought a "maxi ball" mould from floodgate, and it casts at @ 410 grain, pure lead also pictured on that thread. So which "Maxi" are we discussing? Maxi hunter, maxi ball? By which mould manufacturer?

maxi hunter was first choice, then maxi ball next and if you have a Minie ball let that info out too!
