    I don't buy any Lyman molds, every newish mold I've bought from them has had some sort of flaw. First place I look for a mold these days is MP, if Miha makes it I buy from him. Second is Accurate,...

    The mold casts bullets as a hollow base already, but I guess the die would need both ends or it would just flatten out the hollow base. Is there someplace I could have that die made? Is it the kind...

    Yeah that's what I meant if it wasn't clear. That it was way off with actual pressure tested data so I couldnt really use it for N320 data. I'll have to just wing it.
