G'Day Fella's,

I got to the range yesterday, and shot these same loads at 50 meters.
FYI, have a gander at the same Nosler link above, for all the gory details.

Eagle27, Thank You for your advice and experience with this cartridge.
I again only just got over 1600 fps with the same (63grns of AR-2209) load, and the 367grn Poly coated cast bullets?
The chamber in my .404 has a very short throat and I can easily get the bullet to engage the lands/rifling.
I have loaded some of these same cast bullets out, so as to engage the lands/rifling but this make no difference to velocity. Though, it does improve accuracy.
Thank You also, for the link to The Cast Bullet Kid, I'll have look shortly.

93x64, Thank You for your details, data and experiences with your .404.
I need to do a bit more experimenting with cast bullets, in my .404 (and my .375 H&H).

Von Gruff, a BIG Thank You to you, and I am eternally in debt to you, for your great advice, data, assistance and generosity on this matter.

Daryl, A BIG Thank You to you as well, as you always have lots of great advice, knowledge and physical experience with such matters.

Stay posted, as I hope to get some more loads together, and tested shortly.

Avagreatweekendeh!
Homer
