Hi Hommer

Would like to attest to Von Gruffs cast bullets and load. We do correspond a bit starting from when I loaned him my 400 gr Hoch mould when he started his 404 building project. VG has been most helpful with sharing his experiences and loadings with the 404 and sent me a bunch of his 350gr gas checked projectiles to try in my 404.

He has done a spot on job of designing the bullet shape for the mould he had made. A beautiful looking bullet and boy does it shoot groups with his 1900fps loading. I used the same 63gr powder load as he, only in Nobels No 0 powder which is the equivalent of AR2209 or H4350. All three bullet holes cut together at 50m and right up to factory load POI. I also used magnum primers with a single wool wad over the powder. Great practice load, easy on the shoulder and the gun.

My own 400 gr cast projectiles are plain based and I never achieved great grouping from them but after trying out VG's 350gr gas checked ones I spun a shoulder on the base of a bunch of my 400 grainers (held in a collet on the lathe) and put on some 44 cal checks. Lubed and sized they now produce great groups as well.

Cheers.
