Bob, I just checked my available reloads and I don't have any of the Lyman cast bullets loaded at the moment. However, adding the case length and nose length of the Lyman bullet together gives an OAL of approximately 1.100".

I do have a few loaded cartridges that have the Lee TC cast bullet in them and they measure 1.064" OAL. The Lee bullet design has a slightly shorter nose and a larger meplat or nose surface area.<hr /></blockquote>Dear Doubs:

I've been looking at those Lee T/Cs for some time now. The one I like is the tumble lube one, the one without the grease groove. Is this the one you are referring to? This one has a more pointy nose and smaller diameter flat point, somewhat like the original DWM bullet.

The other Lee T/C looks a great deal like the Hornady 124 gr. T/C FMJ, but with a grease groove.

I have had excellent luck with the Hornady 124 gr. T/C FMJ, with both flawless function and excellent accuracy! Some years ago, I developed one load that shot so well that I hardly could believe my eyes when I checked the target (seven touching, with one called flier, at 25 yards).

Thanks again

Bob
