Did a run of my plan base 311365 Noe last night. This morning after lube dried I ran them through a Lee 309 sizer I opened up to 310 and there was just a touch of resistance.

I checked some before sizing and they seem to all bee .3095-.310. I'll know exactly when my micrometer set arrives Thursday.

Is that small for this mold? These will be in a 10" and 16" blackout and under 1300fps due to its plain base.

My alloy was wheels weights and some Lino letter press, about 16lbs to 4lbs.

the cool thing about antimonial alloys is they grow a bit after a few day's.
about a week is enough to get there.
