Does anyone know what diameter this mold produces in 12 gauge?

Until I lapped mine out I couldn't get the diameter any larger then about 0.677" -- but now it cast real nice at about 0.685" at the largest diameter point half way across the length. As previously mentioned the bottom of the slug is slightly smaller diameter which is the correct way to cut the mold considering most shot wad petals are slightly thicker at the bottom then at the top.
