My calipers say .445" on the cast samples.
Thanks I was hoping larger around .458 or ,459

Oh no such luck generally for the RCBS, Ohaus, Lyman and Ideal molds.
.445 seems to have been the target when they made their cherries.
Over the years I'd slowly collected some RCBS, Ohaus, Challenger and Lyman designs (and a .444 diameter sizer) with the intent of putting together a lighter weight percussion piece of .445 bore with rifling for minies. Something to enjoy shooting with light charges and the fairly well instant reloading that big lube grooves and hollow bases provide. Alas, that plan is gone by the way side. If no one wants the molds perhaps I'll drop back and revive the project.
