Reason why I'm asking that question is I've been thinking of casting 50cal conical bullets as I've been asked if I cast for 50cal ML's. I have a design in mind but my concern is the bore size. I was contemplating on having the mold sized to 505 and size them down to 504 or 504.5 as I feel the bullet should slightly engrave the bullet to help improve accuracy yet, slide down easy enough. Any Thoughts??
