Hello:
What size of bullet does this mold produce? Size and weight. And I believe this is a ring tail bullet is that correct?

It casts a ringtail Christmas tree bullet. The bottom driving ring on the bullet is supposed to be .557 with the upper 2 rings being slightly smaller.
I will cast a few tonite and measure them for the exact diameters for you. I will also weigh them and let you know.

The bullets weigh in at 478 grains cast in soft lead.
The bottom band diameter is .558, middle band is .535, and top band is .520.

Thanks for checking. I too done some checking found out my barrel is .538 and would need to size to much on that size bullet.
Thanks Jim.
