          It seems we are two already as somebody else responded. That will work for me, but if it can be made lighter, like around 31 gr., even better.

          Thank you.

            Bob I see also you have some .358 cal, are you planning to make .356? That way not having to size them. They always go at least 1 up.

              A 31 gr. bullet in .25 cal would be too short to incorporate a boattail into the design….

              If the .357s ever make it to a Group Buy (which takes interest being expressed in the appropriate discussion thread)…. you could request that during the GB process…. Most airguns seem to need the bullet sized for best performance, and with NOEs sizing system, it only costs $10 for each additional bushing, and they are made in 0.001″ increments, so it makes it cheap to find the BEST size for your gun….

                One of them (airguns big-bores) is .357, but as .356 tend to go always up to .357, it fits perfectly. I also cast .356, .357, and .358.

                No problem. Not in a hurry with that, just exploring, as I sell them: http://www.drilldogbigborepellets.com , also plan to add in the near future .45 and .50 cals.

                The .250 I’m more interested now. Let’s see if another 3 airgunners show up. That’s a mould good to have and use. If .25 cal. online distribution is interrupted for whatever reason, being able to make it is a +.

                I wonder why Crosman never tried to get into making .25 with their ample distribution contracts around the country.

                250 is better for my Bullboss and Benjamin Trail .25 cal. 41 gr is a little bit heavy for them if wanting to shoot many; but certainly it will work for a few shots (Bullboss), hitting harder.

                      I made some yesterday (see attached picture) and before even examining for any damaged ones, I took and shot the Bullboss in a rush today, and they go easily. I would even say that I may go up to .251-.252 mold to try in the future, but for now will keep it like that till checking accuracy up to 40 yards at home. It is good that they go through with no need of resizing them; even though some of them, in the drive band, went up to .253 once casted.

                      Now, for the Benjamin XL Trail .25 cal, it is a different story, they are pretty tight. I was able to shoot a couple but the BT is only completely pushed inside the barrel once I closed it, as by hand did not wanted to get in; though it did not jam or related. It was propelled out with no issues.

                      I have a question in case I want to buy your sizing, because was trying how the sizing you have could work in a Lee Press. I see these two (next), but where is the size that can be adapted to any Lee Press? In other words, what do I need to use your sizing system?

                      I may buy next month the BT .357 cal. you have, but would like it 5 cavities if possible, because I could add them to my sale list; then later on the .45 cal.

                      Thank you.

                          You need one sizing die body to hold the sizing bushings….

                          http://noebulletmolds.com/NV/product_info.php?cPath=104_410&products_id=2415

                          It accepts all calibers of bushings, and screws into a Lee press….

                          Regarding the fit of your BBTs, the back of the head is 0.002″ smaller than the drive band…. This makes it easier to chamber in most guns…. It was never really intended for use in a Springer, they have such a shallow chamber (really only a taper on the breech end) it does not surprise me that you have a problem chambering them…. However, if you run them through a 0.250″ sizing die, which will barely touch the back of the head, it will size the driving band down and allow you to insert them easier….

                              Bob,

                              I did not find any instructions in the sizing kit. Tried to install it the usual way from the top, but could not find any logical position, so tried again from the bottom and it seems to be the right way.

                              Is that correct? See attached picture.

                              Tried the Lee challenger press and it has a play when reaching the sizing die, hitting it before coming in; however, in the cheaper press it seems to work.
