Working on getting some MP 432-200hp sized and lubed and maybe hit a snag or not?
Cast soft and when I size I either get a little ring indent from the top punch or the
nose flattens a little or both depending on which top punch I use. Domed or flat punches.
Don't think a top punch came with the mould but if it did I lost it or sumpin.
Base sized first to .430 the tried to lube in a .430 die and same outcome.
When it flattens the hp lip with a flat punch the OAL is not the same but very close
within .002 or so but a very nice even flat rim on the HP.
Tried base sizing and pan lubing but just made a mess with the lube I want to use.
Gonna run these at 900 and 1200 pistol/rifle do you think the OAL dif will be a big deal?
Don't want to go harder
Try some more punches or live with what I got?
