Anyone casting with this mould? I was wondering what diameter it drops from the mould in wheel weight alloy? I need .431+" and was wondering what those of you that have this mould are getting.

Been shooting the Lee RN (loaded in .44 Spl cases) in my OM Vaquero for quite a spell and found it quite accurate. 9.0 gr of Herco gives me around 900 fps (4 5/8" barrel). Using Lyman #2 alloy, boolits drop from my mould at just a hair over .431 and I size to .430. Also shoot this boolit cast from soft range scrap (BHn 8 +/-) over a lightly compressed load of FFFg for CAS-style "fun" shoots, too.
