    LEE classic custom bullet sizer

    I have a 44 special revolver whose throats are .433 when measured with gauge pins

    My mold is custom made to drop at .435

    Should I size bullet at .433, .4335, or .434 for greatest accuracy?

    Thank you Larry Gibson, I will order the die to be that size.

    Once Mr Gibson chimes in, I stop and listen. I’d like to go to summer camp for a week at his place when I grow up. Imagine what you would learn looking over his shoulder!

    +1 to that, Barry54. Does anybody know of a gun club with camping near Lake Havasu? We could all meet there with our campers and portable reloading equipment and guns. Larry could be Camp Director and some our other Cast Boolits luminaries could also be on staff. I’d be happy to organize a session on “Variations and Possibilities of the 32 caliber”.
