So, I cast some Lee 319 RB for use in shotshells today. They are about 47gr and about .314 diameter.
I can buy Estate birdshot cheaper than I can reload, so I tried taking out the shot and replacing with these balls. 9 balls is just under 1oz. They also stack in the original wad. If I had the 00 mould I doubt they would fit. I had to smoosh them in a bit with my pliers but stacked real good.
I also like that it comes in a two cavity mould. It's a bit slower than the 00 snowman mould, but I really hate cutting snowmen.
