    lee molds v rcbs

    i cast a few bullets in different cals and ordered a few sizing dies from a forum member and measured a few bullets to check....most of my molds are lee and to be honest they cast perfect and more or less as stated...now i love my rcbs martini mold but it casts at .465 instead of .470 as stated.
    i tried to cast different tonight by not water quenching but air drying the bullets to see if they shrink back different but they were no difference..
    the lead is pure and soft but i am not bothered about the weight just the size
    might try and add linotype to the lead or tin to harden up as been told they tend to cast bigger....not fussed as the old martini shoots great at .465 with my old eyes directing the bullets
