	Hello All: My rifle barrel has a groove Dia. of .459. I'm casting with wheel weights with a ladle plus 2% tin added. Casting temp is 750. My bullets are dropping from the mold at .4575. How can I get the bullets up to .459 or .460? Thanks, Gary

	A couple layers of fiberglass tape on the mating faces of the mold may do it. I have a lathe so I just make a reamer and enlarge the driving bands so as to get a bullet large enough.

	Try looking up the process to lap a mould using a bullet cast from it. It is called beagle. Cast bullet assoc. Forum would be a place to look.
