I've used this tool with good results. I used to drill out the Lyman 358429 in a .357 Magnum case over 7.0 Unique. If the lead was soft-ish there was noticeable expansion.
Back in the bad old days of the early 1970's we couldn't buy projectiles through the mail and jacketed slugs were very expensive. Casting bullets was very popular among folks that liked to shoot alot.
