I've been looking for the perfect commercial cast bullets for a while now without success. That bullet is exactly what I've been looking for.

Therefore I blame you for designing it and forcing me into casting. :D

Any try this in a BlackHawk? Just wondering? I have an NOE mold but it tends to cast big with Lyman #2.

The cavities are cut for wheel weights. You might try casting a cooler mold temperature so that the aluminum blocks haven't expanded as much. I do that with mine.

Ok thanks I'll try that next time. I'm kinda Leary of a tumble lube oversized. If sized down the grooves may be to shallow.

all of NOE's molds cast a touch oversized even with WW alloy.
if your getting near 360 for a 357, lube, size to 359, and lube again, then load.
your just gonna make the edges of the bands shiny, even sizing .002 won't hurt anything.
