I've only casted from factory molds, so I'm not sure I know exactly how to word this question. I understand how to slug my bore, although I have not done this yet.
Lets say I've slugged my .54 cal. bore and it measures .541., and I've decided on mold 54-4851.
On that molds catalog pic it shows the outside diameter of the driving band as .544. ( this is what Accurate mold refers too as body diameter and in the drop down menu it gives you multiple dia. options).). Since my barrel slugged at .541 what dia. should I choose for my mold?
Then the dia. of the grooves in the mold's catalog pic it shows a dia. of .499. What should my mold's dia. be in this groove, based on my slugged .541 dia.? Also it appears there is no option for choosing the dia. of this bullets grove? Do I Put a dia. for this measurement in special notes?
