G'Day all but in particular, Von Gruff and Eagle 27.

Thank you for all this info and also for the images of these bullets.

I've been away bush, huntin, shootin, and workin for the last four days with me Old Mate Toofa and we chewed a considerable amount of Fat on this very subject. We got to talking about Gas Checking 404 cast bullets and Toofa suggested .44 Cal gas checks which, Thank You Eagle 27 confirmed in his response above.
Now Toofa has all kinds of delightful things, including a .500 Rigby, that he had the Australian company, CBE make him a mould for. (I think CBE is an acronym for Cast Bullet Engineering?)

Now I would like you gents to make a comment on Toofa's suggestion for a .404 Jeffery mould, the details are as follows;

0.4245" Dia
400 grain (I stipulated this weight)
An LBT Nose with a 0.375" meplat ( also, LBT = Lead Bullet Technology, a US company?)
and
To take, a .44 Cal Gas Check.

Now a LBT Nose, apparently looks like the nose on an Elmer Keith pistol, Semi-Wad Cutter(SWC) but the bullet has no SWC shoulder!

What do you blokes think?
