Problem is , cast from WW it drops from the mold at .457 or slightly under. Does not give good performance from my Marlin XLR with the Ballard deep grove rifling. Are others having this problem with this mold? [img]https://leeprecision.com/mold-dc-c457-500-f.html[/img]

The LEE mold was CHEAP $29, and came with handles, I took the handles and used them with the Accurate mold and threw the LEE mold in the trash.................
