On the feeding issue Homer. When I was using Eagle 27's 400 gn with gentle ogive it fed from my magazine with out fail but my mould would jump the round underneath out when ejecting a round. We had to mill the mag walls further forward to allow the rounder nose to sit further out under the side rails to hold it securely. It will do so now no matter how energetically the action is worked. I came to my data detail for a couple of reasons the first being the accuracy factor which is the reason for the shorter radius to bore length. The meplat sixe is sufficient to start any mushrooming if the alloy is compatable with the tissue being hit. The 44 cal gas checks were a factor in the heel cut and I got it as 350gn because that is more than enough for anything in NZ. It could be made as a 400gn simply by addind length as in an extra grease groove section. I had a number of top punches for my 44 mag so finding a match is no problem but simply by matching of the Lyman catalogue would get one close enough that with a bit of judicious opening up would make a fit.
