I was running out of .490 RB for my smoke poles, so I got out an old Lee 1 cavity and whipped out a hundred or so. I never thought to measure them as I always just shoot muzzle loader projectiles as cast never a problem until now. So today I got out the boom stick and struck out to the back yard. Umm when I layed one of these on top of a patch I almost didn't need a ram rod. I slid it down the barrel anyway and fired one off. Yeah nowhere near the target, actually about 4 feet over it. So I got to looking and yeah, no wonder. In the pic, the RB in question is in the middle. A Speer store bought .490 on the left and a hand cast .454 on the right. The batteries are dead in my caliper, so I can't measure it. But I don't need it to see its too small. I've never had them drop so small before.
