When I referred to the Lee 405gr. bullet, I was talking about the solid mould, not the HP. If I want a HP or cup-point, I turn one an a small lathe, as I did with some 9.3mm bullets. I do have the Gould mould, but that bullet is suitable for deer only in my opinion, and smallish deer at that. As a solid, though, that 340gr. bullet will kill bear very nicely, black bear at least and I'm use it would handle griz. just about as well. As long as the heavier bullets will make descent speed, I opt for weight. Both my lyman and RCBS 400gr. moulds drop bullets at 420gr. and either would be OK, preferrably the RCBS with the gas check for higher speeds. The Lyman flat base bullet has shot very well with a card wad to protect it's base.
