Does anyone have both and can tell me what the actual size these drop at? I will be using sheet lead for casting.

Not an owner of either, but just because the mold I bought dropped a diameter X is no assurance that your's would.

I don't have either one, but I do have a very old two cavity .380 Lee RB mold (bought it used years ago).

It tends to drop about .381", using the closest thing I had to pure lead at the time--stick on wheel weights.

I have the .360 mold and they drop at .361. I use a mix of tin and antimony in my lead bringing it up to 12 bnh for all my casting unless I’m casting rifle rounds. Then I bump it up to 16bnh. I can try casting some with pure lead to see what size they drop and let you know if you want
