Mark,
I'm using the Lyman 446110 which I currently size down in steps, .446, .439, .430 to .427, and then paper patch up to .434 for my particular barrel / throat diameters. It is a bit tedious but it works pretty well. I did try some sized down to .430 with 50/50 alox and found that they leaded a bit so for now I'll stay with the paper patch.
I've heard of people using the Lee 430-310-RF and I may give it a try some time in the future. I have gotten the idea that the size of the nose of that bullet has given some people problems with loading from the magazine.
Have Fun,
JCherry
Tom has a couple of good designs:

Best to slug the bore for groove diameter before picking the bullet mold and finding it is the wrong size diameterWhat are you using for a mold for this rifle, I am doing some research fro a friend who has one.
