This is a great mold for the .401 wsl. There are two different version molds one had a flat-base and the other a bevel-base. They come up from time to time on the E site. Single cavity are most common, the dual cavities are extremely hard to find. Hope this helps!

Now, if someone here has one picking up dust somewhere, I'll put it to good use!

Check this mold out if you have a long wait time from Lyman.
My 400 Corbon 1911 loves this LEE 145gr SWC. It comes out at close to 148gr with my standard alloy and after sizing/lubing. It didn't care at all for LEE's bigger 170gr Truncated Cone bullet but their light bullet is the bee's knees.

I use a Lee .401 push through sizer and it sizes up nicely. I'll pull an unlubed as-cast out of the box tonight to give you a reading for pre-sizing.
