[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3553986, member: 15054"] Ok I had to go fill it with lead so I took the propane torch to a dirty old clip on lead wheel weight and let the lead drip into the case. I then heated the case with the torch to get it all filled out well. Filed the top flat. Looks like I filed it at an angle. I need to not do that. Anyway it weighed 163.1gr and my red Lee 158gr bullet beside it weighs 167.5 gr. I have cast from that same Lee mold and got 170 gr after alox lubed and gas checked. Now I need to see if I can profile the nose a bit. Nope just crushed the case a bit.FAIL. Should have left it flat like a wad cutter. [ATTACH=full]200451[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
