I purchased 3 RCBS 44-250-K moulds before I received a good one. It took several calls to the factory and couple to the shop foreman. First mould had vent lines cut with a dull cutter meaning fins on the bullet. Second mould cast.428 with wheel weights. Third mould cast fine but weighed 262 grs. with 92-6-2 alloy.

Since I was casting to sell we purchased a matched set of four cavity moulds from Lyman. Both cast perfectly and drop just over .431 from wheel weights. The .431 Star sizing die just does touch the bullet all way round. I love it when a plan comes together.
