I think not only outside the box but sometimes off the page .
So this may not work for a reason , I didn't think of .
So if you see a reason tell me , that way I will learn .

With "some" of the group buy molds LEE has failed to cut the molds so they cast as drawn. :groner:

Could we draw the spec's to be as cut , not as cast ?
Somewhere I saw how much WW shrinks in different calibers.

Many of us already have a LEE mold in the caliber we are getting the new mold in .
So we could cast a bullet in WW , chech the sizes compaired to the mold .
Add what ever needed to sizes to produce the desired size

Then have the drawing show the as cut size .
That way IF LEE can read they should be able to get the sizes right.

i haven't done a goup buy but that is how I did the mold that I had them make for me. They actually got it right, on the first try even.
