I recently purchased a 6 cavity lee mold. 240 grain 44mag, For a good price on Ebayer. I Floundered when i seen it in my mailbox, ripped it open with my kershaw, and to my suprise!!!! Round nose??? ***. Is this even legal.
I quickley melted down some Liquid sunshine, carbonized the mould and began the creation of our lands finest. First batch, quenched.....then measured the weight.
Just as I suspected, 253 grains.
I havent sized them yet but... I do believe that its cause of that dome head.
Whacha Think?

i never complain about a mold till i shoot it, ever.
same as a rifle i never make any changes to it till after it's been shot,one of the ugliest things i ever bought was an arisaka rifle with some kind of shiney inlays and the extractor needing some reshaping to it, but went and shot it with it's open sights.
i went directly from the range to the nearest gunshop for a scope and back to the range to do some more testing, yep the groups got even smaller. small enough that i brag on the thing, and it's always in my truck in plain view.
it's so ugly the dog avoids it when she's in the truck.
