I just recently purchased a lyman .243 cast bullet mold, in Louverne style#245496.
It is a 85 grain cast bullet. It will be mated with a case trimmed to2.35".
I have searched thru my reloading manuals . Lyman 45 edition only showsthree different bullet weights and powder charges. I am unable to find out what the AOL is forthis bullet. Does anyone shoot this bullet, if so can you tell me what the AOLis?
Thanksfor all help in this matter

Seat it 0.005" off the lands or just touching your choice. With the cast loads your are more concerned about bullet deformation entering the throat than intrusion on a case full of powder.

The Lyman Cast Handbook Third Edition lists the overall length as 2.480". MT Gianni gave good advice.
