Yikes!!! NOE .225 Saeco #221 needs a diet!!!

Wow! I had cast up a bunch of these the other week... Let them age, and went to size them up today. Measured at .227-.228 before sizing! Not very many grease grooves left after sizing!

Naw... Didn't kill the thread. Just was busy with a friend's wedding party tonight.

I did not expect those to grow that much during the course of a few weeks of aging! I figured they'd be right at .225 or mayby .2255 at the most. And I've noticed the size die leaves the top band unsized on on side. Don't know if that is an alignment issue or a size issue. But either way these seem to be almost over size, and swage out quite a bit with any pressure what so ever on the lube/sizer handle. These small boolits really are a science!!!

SAECO Precision Engineering Molds

Can anyone tell me the history/timeline of the 3 cavity SAECO Precision Engineering Molds? I have owned 3 of them, still have one. Can't find anything on the net. Checked Castpics to see if I missed anything there. Still no anwer. Would like to know when these were made, and if they are still made by Redding. Any ideas or knowledge?

One of my father's favorite statements: "If I say a chicken dips snuff, look under his wing for the snuffbox" How I was raised, who I am.

I my 2011 catelog they are still avalible by special order, retail at that time $180.00 paid in advance with a 6 to 8 week delivery time
A 4 cavity retails @225.00 .in 2011
