    ron the unwrapped bullet looks like.490. you think i should size to .496 wrap then size to .501? I'm shooting these in my whites and they haven't came off the powder ever.and they are accurate as can be .but I'm talking about the pure lead and 500 grs of shot per 5lbs of lead like you pour.this 1/40 is something I'm trying because i need something to do.maybe make some of each and see how they go down and how they shoot.and as usual picking your brain.

    That was what I thought it would be .006 under. To be honest I would not finish size to .496 since you have the .501 that is what I would finish size with. I bet the whites would do fine with the .501 finish size. The .501 last step would just press the paper. If I had a .499 I would probably go to that but I haven't pulled that trigger yet. 54Bore sized some to .498 this fall and I am going to try them to see how they fit.
