of the Lyman Postell design. The mold is listed as 535 grains, of 15-1 these came out 520.* Diameter is .459-.460. I've heard that some people were getting undersize from this mold, either they got one made with a worn cherry or I got a good one. Considering Lyman has been doing this a while, I'm betting worn cherry.
They're lubed and sized(the sizer being .459 it mostly makes sure it's the same all the way around and wipes off excess lube), now I need to figure a starting load and try them out.
* On the Lyman 330-grain hollowpoint, the ones I've cast came out 340 grains; depending on alloy/mold/brownies messing with things, you almost always get some variation
