UPDATE: JUst looked and found one on the bench that didn't get processed. It's measuring .3555/.3560, which is pretty damned round! So, they cast pretty close to usable size, even with out sizing, per se. They still need to be lubed.
BTW, they were run using wheel weight alloy, PLUS about 1/2 pound of linotype in the 20 pound pot. I have found that it makes for hard, shiny, right on size bullets.
I have just recently gotten that mold, and have cast a bunch of them, and loaded many. However, I have yet to fire them, or recover any from the berm (to see what the expansion looks like). So, let me know how that goes. Pics, please.
OH, and...... Miha indicates that he has extras of that mold available for sale!!!

The one I have is the 357 caliber. That just happens to be what he has available for sale. They will go fast, if you want one.

Not sure what the UNsized size is, since the other samples that I brought home got resized/lubed this morning (for Stuart from Weaponcraft). I'll poke around in the shop, and see if I can find one hanging around unsized.
Those are just about my most fav bullets. They always come out near perfect!
