G'Day Fella's,

Thank you again for your input of knowledge and experience into this subject, I really do appreciate it!

9.3, Thank You for the tip on the Lee Sizer Die deal as it is a good one but I have most of the equipment and material in my workshop, so just like making Cast Bullets, I like to do that part of it myself as well.
It's not so much the money but more the amount of time it takes to organize and then get someone else to do it. In the time it takes to arrange for it to be done, I can already have it half done.

I made up a .4246" diameter sizer die and bullet pusher for my RCBS Lube-A-Matic yesterday and when I get the bullet mould's (I might also get a Blank mould and have a Play), I'll then make a top punch for it and get casting, sizing and finally "Burning Powder". I miked up the 404's bore (Douglas Premium) the other day and it came in at 0.4236" diameter, hence the sizer die diameter.

Daryl, Thank You for the tip on the Heavy Card Wad and Upside-Down Gas Check idea. If I can't get the thing to shoot, I'll give them a try. I imagine, if I make up another top punch with the right OD and a taper on it for my RCBS L-A-M, I will be able to press the .44 cal gas checks into the sizer die and resize them to suit the 404 (if required), prior to crimping them onto the cast bullets?
