Next question. My mould was a little worn so i cooled down the lead in the pot to get the bullets to cast larger pure lead keith style 250 grain bullets. they run in the .453- .456 range.. I used a lyman sizer .458 die becouse i cant find my .454 die.. The small marlin cowboy lever action rifle shot a three shot group sitting, shooting off a limb at 95 yards into 3 3/4 inches.. Should i worry about getting a .454 sizer.. It doesnt seem neccesarry to me? Abolutly no leading with 50 rounds at aprox 1100 fps with 7.7 grains unique. ( i use a .453 expander, specially made by rcbs to expand the case full bullet lenght, so the case may be sizing them anyway?..) It doesnt seem like i need to mess with it.? dave
