If you look at my avatar you will see my mold, flat based as you can see.
I have beat the crimping issue to death in another thread and my dimensions are OK and no lead shavings!
The bollits are not concentric, they range from .451 - .453 out of round.
I have sized with a .452 die but it just makes them a bit rounder.
243WINXB may have something!
“Of the most commonly used alloys, wheel weights (.5%
tin, 4% antimony, 95% lead) will produce bullets having
the smallest diameter and heaviest weight, with
such bullets running approximately .3% smaller in
diameter and 3% heavier than bullets cast with
Taracorp's metal.”
This might get me to a size large enough to size to .452 and make them round.
