the great advantage of 404 and 10,75x68. there is no rocket science to reduce .429 pistol bullets to .424 for target practice. only the old german 11,2 schuler with a .440 caliber will go similar with .451 bullets.
anyone ever try to make bullets for the .375 from 222 and 223 brass? they all measure .374-.375 on the base.




Bullet resizing has a lot of positive value as Daryl and I have posted here with .375's reduced to 9.3 caliber.

Never made .375's, but I have made 9.3's from 9x19 and 7.62x25 cases, as posted here in the past.

Great idea about applying the resizing option to the big bores. Anything that gets a fellow into the woods and on the range with his gun {strolls, walks, varmint hunting, etc} before a hunt is a plus; action functioning, reloading, handling, pointing, trigger break all are mechanical issues that take getting used to on any gun, and full power loads are not necessary for such work. Zeroing and shooting at all reasonable ranges under a variety of shooting positions, IMO, are.

Regarding cost of ammo, I was just talking to my gunsmith yesterday, and he mentioned the amazing popularity of the Ultramags in this area. for a host of reasons, gun sales stagnated for many years till about the time of their release, then exlpoded. He brought up the fact that while the CARTRIDGES are excellent, there are precious few fellows who can shoot them. He said "too expensive, kicks too much" are the excuses a whole new generation of shooters use to avoid what I like to call "Skillbuilding" with their rifles. Fear rules the day. I've noticed the same thing.
