the lyman mold (575213 new style 510 grain) will cast a bullet that will size to .577/.578 (at least mine does) the thinner skirt will expand easier to form in the rifling. You should have about .0015 clearance on the round and it should slide down a clean barrel with a nice air cushion sound as...
