I have had several original 76's in .50 Express.  My load is with a lead bullet cast from an original Winchester bullet mold.  It comes out at .513 and I size to .512 (bore diameter).  Shoots with awesome accuracy using resized .348 brass and 80 grains of 2f black.  Just my opinion.

Bore diameter .512"? What was the groove diameter?  That soft bullet must bump up nicely.

DrummerBoy:
Please help! Very clumsy trying to attach photo of calipers and slug

DrummerBoy:
Whew! Finally got an acceptably sized photo of my dilemma: a rather larger slug size than those I’ve seen mentioned…all I can think to do is to get accurate to increase the size of a mold to .518 and then get a .517 sizer.
Any advice/criticism would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
DB
