Been trying to identify this mold, 45 cal, steel blocks and no markings.
Cast some bullets with it today for my 45-70 RB.
They drop at 521grns. But what perplexes me is there measurments.
Length is 1.41
Base measures right at .458
But if you measure the top outer groove between the lube grooves it's .446, second one is .449, three, four and fifth outside grooves are all .452.
Top edge of the base is .454 and at the bottom of the base is .458.
Now I measured my Lymans in 405, 500 and 535grn and all cast as .458 top to bottom.
So am I missing something here?
Just looking for some input on this particular mold.
