Several months back I purchased a Lee C452-300-RF mold because I liked the large meplate of the bullet.
However I did not really want a 300 grain bullet especially one designed for a gas check.
So I removed the mold handles from the mold, took the mold to my mill and set the mold up in the mill vise for some metal removal.
After pulling my zero across the top of the mold I removed .075 from the top of the mold making the bullet .075 shorter.
This removed most of the gas check area from the bullet.
I'm not sure what the weight of the bullet will be now, however I should know tomorrow as I plan on doing some casting with the mold tomorrow if all goes well.
Best Regards
