This is the plain base 250gr Keith type bullet mold from RCBS. I wondering how they figure the weight with these. For those of you who have this bullet mold, what type of alloy do you use and how much do YOUR bullets weigh?
I've noticed that with wheel weights my bullets tend to come out a bit heavier than the mold calls for. I want to copy the Keith load as closely as possible (17gr 2400 w/ 250gr cast bullet) and I don't want my bullets dropping out at 260-265 grains. I'm wondering if I should try this one or go with a 240gr mold, expecting them to drop heavier?
Comments?
And as a side rant, why is it next to impossible to find a 250gr flat nose mold? I may just go with Mountain Molds. Is he still taking orders?
