I couldn't figure out how to search for this question, so hope y'all don't mind my asking what is probably a dumb question for those of you more experience at casting your own boolits.
I'm trying to figure out which bullet casting mold to buy for my first .45 ACP effort. I just finished reading the Lyman "Cast Bullet Handbook" and did not see an explanation.
When I look at a boolit mold like this one (http://www.lymanproducts.com/lyman/bullet-casting/mould-details.php?entryID=27), how do I know if I'm looking at a bullet with one grease groove and one crimp groove, or a bullet with two grease groves and which the loader will have to crimp over the top of the uppermost driving band?
Thanks
