Got up about 4 (no particular reason) and started to round up some reloading stuff. Grabbed a box with my latest casting experience, the SAECO #415, and saw the following:
Boolit length: .730
Boolit drive bands: .410 (held VERY consistent on all boolits)
Boolit weight: 223gr-ish. Casting techniques varied, ladle, bottom, away from mould, directly to sprue hole..
Front transition band: .405
Meplat: Maybe .220, using calipers to pick up the edge of a flat that is bounded by a cone isn't quite precise.
Gas check shank: .080 deep (long? high?)
Gas check top diameter: @ .395-ish
