QUESTION ON SIZING
« on: May 09, 2008, 02:18:59 AM »
My question is this all the standard mold blocks show an as cast diameter of .430" for a 44 cal bullet. I need a .432" diameter for my Marlin 1894, how do I accomplish this with a sizing punch and die? the as cast diameter is already too small will the cast not just FALL through the sizer die?

"Beagling" a mould is a way to cast larger bullets from an existing mould.
