What did your mould cast at? Mine was close to .458" as cast. I honed the mould to .460".

I have one of the original Lymans, got it about thirty years ago for my 450 Buhmiller. Out of air cooled WW is mikes 1.2700" long, .447" on the bore riding nose, and .4615-462" on the driving bands. That is average of 14 I had left that were not sized and lubed and GC'ed, and loaded into my .450 Dakota cases. I can shoot them over 2200fps before leading rears its ugly head if I use Lars45's red lube. I size mine at .461" with a honed out Lyman .460 sizing die. Works for me!

i guess i was a little vauge in my first post. i need to know what the dimension is on the group buy size die that go's with the 462560 group buy mold.

Well now you really have me. I didn't know they were doing a group buy on sizers! Musta missed it. The largest I ever see for sale in the Lyman/RCBS style is .459". I consider that the minimum useful size for my 45-70's.
