mold size

[hiram]

If you were casting with Lyman #2 or similar(ww), and if you wanted a .430 bullet, what size would you have the mold cut?

[mooman76]

I don't know personally how big to go as far as if you need a mould to be .431 to get a 430 boolit or not but I'd go large anyway. Better too big than too small within reason of coarse.

i bet babore has a very good idea.

Hiram ,see above link. About half way down they give shrinkage factors for different alloy and boolit diameters...Ray
