If you had to choose between an Ideal 431244 and a Lyman 429244 which one would you choose and why?
Can someone explain the key differences between them?

If you're shooting these in a revolver, it would really help to know the throat diameters in your cylinder?
I don't have a pin gauge set and I haven't slugged my guns.
Are you obscurely answering my 2nd question by insinuating that the only difference is a larger diameter in the 431244?
Older Ideal molds generally were not true to size. When they changed from the 431244 to the 429244 the only initial change was the stamp. Your question then is answered by what era is the Lyman mold and what are the respective dimensions?

I had my #429244 opened up to .432" and like it a lot better.
