Anyone cast with this mold who could furnish me with the crimp-to-nose dimension? Also, what diameter does yours cast? and with what alloy? I'm hoping the crimp-to-nose will work in my 444 Marlin.
Thanks for your help,
Rick

I have a six cavity - maybe 2 years old. Looks like .250 from the crimp (top) to nose. Mine cast .431 X .433 with Range Lead (Indoor range 40/50/10 jackets/cast/22lr is my guess. Pretty soft.) + 1% tin. I size them .432 and it cleans them up mostly. They shoot well at plinking levels in my Marlin 1894 44mag (6.5gr HP38). I've never tried to push them harder.

Thanks for your help. I'll do some measuring and see if they'll work for me.
Take care,
