Btw
These chamber much easier in my Ballard rifled 336. The RCBS engraves more and is harder to close the lever. You can just feel these engrave lightly. My RCBS ogive is more than .352 but I wrote it wrong on the paper. I think it was closer to .354-.355.

If you notice on my paper the Lee does cast small at .359. I have since "Beagled" my mold and got them up to .361 and then size and lube at .360. The .360 sizer touches about 75% of the band due to the boolits being slightly out of round from "Beagleing". Before the .359 would only touch about 20% of the band, so essentially it was only lubing them .

.359 is actually my target size for these so all should be good .gonna roll the Lee dice and see what I get Thanks again
