I know from personal experience with other Rapine molds that 'sometimes' the size on the mold isn't precisely the mold size... Still fantastic molds, however...

Can you tell me if the actual dimension of the bullets come out at 0.585? Or measure the inside dimension of the mold (while closed) with a caliper...

Thx

I haven't cast with it so I don't know if its a bit over or under size. I tried measuring one half the mold at the parting line and the calipers said .585 at the top band which was as low as it would fit - it could easily be .584 - .586. That's a pretty sketchy way to measure it. The mold uses a pinned metal strip to hold the core plug, blocking access to the bottom of the closed mold blocks. My guns use .580-581 so I just never have cast this mold.
