That bullet mould is a new concept!

It's hard to argue with success, but isn't a 400 grain bullet way over on the heavy side for the 2 3/8" cartridge? I was thinking the original loads for that round maxed out at about 250 grains?

Your 400 grain bullets would be a good choice for my 3 1/4" rifles. The .406 diameter is too large for paper in my .408 grooved Farquharson. I'd like to find a mould that spits out .400" bullets at 400 grains.

You are obviously doing great. Keep us informed.

Hi Cap'n,
The original BP loads for this cartridge were up to 275g Lead.
The Nitro for Black loads went up to 300g Jacketed.
The full Nitro load fired a 400g Jacketed with 40g Cordite.
