Re: Need 650g .577 bullet mold.

Here's an extreme example of what can happen when 'any old body' is allowed to design their own mould, cast their own bullets, and load for their own rifle...


Seen recently at a local auction house, high quality 20b Brit sporting rifle, raped.


I'll start with the bullet.


That's grams. Do the math..!

Now, this is a piece of brass found with the rifle.


That base was spool-shaped. Hourglass-shaped. Stretched. The belly bulged.

Nice rifle too, snap-action Lever-Under-Guard rotary.
Here's the action flat detail...



The only portion of the barrel-set to have seen recent polish was the flats, I wonder if they were trying to hide something..?




Grossly over-weight bullet, no effective grease groove to speak of, over size, and too hard...






Cheers
Tinker
