cast bullet not being sized to dia expected
Just got a sizer and started with 44 cal 180gn RNFP - sizer says .430

starting size .433
ending size .427/.428

was expecting .430 ---- anyone see similar results? sizing die is magma and using star sizer

thanks

I would try cleaning your 430 die out real well and checking the inside dia. You may have a die that was mismarked.

Thanks for all the help. Turns out that my micrometer internals went flakey and I got a replacement and that seemed to be the problem....

Lamar,
Funny you should mention that about magma...have had that problem also in the past.
