Is there a size you are looking for? I have a number of duplicates but wouldn't mind a 0.459"

I need a couple other things too and will be in the US. Canada Post shipping is just too expensive for small items (unless there are a few in a box). I need a top punch too.
.459 should do the trick. I will leave .44/.432 bullets for next year.

I buy mine direct from Lyman website. Their price for the sizer isn't the best, but their shipping price is - and it usually equalizes out. Good people to deal with, too. They will send you a confirmation email, you can reply to that and tell them to please send by USPS and not courier.
Each mold is a little different depending on how many times they have sharpened the Cherry that cut the mold. and also diameter will depend on the alloy you use.
I have two Lyman 225415 molds, one drops a bullet at 0.226" the other at 0.224" from the same alloy.
.458"... but just because mine is doesn't mean yours is the same. The tools they used to cut the cavities wore over time, bigger cavities when they were new, smaller cavities when they were close to being worn out. Depends if the cutting tool aka cherry was fresh or worn.
Lyman is $10 shipping, even if you order 5 of them.
It worked out to just under $61 CAD shipped for the sizing die and top punch.
The important thing is - I may actually be able to cast bullets for free (vs 40c or more). I have a large supply of lead that I paid next to nothing for.
