Just tried this mold out today. The biggest I could get out of her was 428.
Is the beagleing method or the lapping method prefered to get the boolits to drop at 432?
If I did the lapping it would only be on the driving bands.
This would be for my SBH.

That design is notorously small as it was intended for the .44-40. I'd "beagle" it and try a few at a larger diameter and if it shoots good and I liked the design, I'd have the bands expanded./beagle

I think that is what I will do.
Thanks beagle
