I write a bp column so I have lots of in-lines and I think the white is the best all round in-line on the market.
Good shootin!

On the Lyman mold, do you have to do any sizing down? Or does the mold throw a true 451? That mold sounds like one I would be interested in. I currently cast a 405 grain flat point which does a pretty good job.
