Tried a newish 309-230-5R mould tonight. It cast beautiful, round bullets and didn't need ANY prep other than wipe out the cavities with alcohol, swipe on some sprue plate lube, and put it to work.
Straight WW alloy at 725F, the base band comes out .3095".....perfect. the microbsnds about .3075"....can live with that.
But:
And the nose makes .2950" at the largest. Dammit.
