You are correct. But the reason I posted my question was because I had read more than a few accounts of people buying Lyman molds only to find out they were cut undersized, even when using the recommended alloy.
I guess what I am really asking is this: Is that problem widespread in older molds? Are the new molds okay with alloys other than Lyman #2? Or should I just give up on Lyman and go with NOE or Accurate?
One added bit of info: I have an older Lyman mold for my 7X57. The mold is labeled 287641. It is a newer mold. It drops a beautiful bullet at .286-.287" with wheel weight lead. I beagle it up for my VZ24 and the results are outstanding. So I was hoping to find out if that is normal with Lyman.
Thanks for all of your help, as usual you guys are the "go to" for my questions.
