Thank you Eagle27.

I know of only one maker of .404 (.424 dia) cast bullets here in the states.
I'd be interested in that 370gn bullet, though, both for lower-recoil shooting fun as well as to hunt with. Is the other member making them here in the U.S.?

Also, while I've reloaded jacketed bullets for years in several of my rifles and know what powders work best, for the .404 with cast bullets (like those in your picture), what powders work best for those?

I have mostly Varget stocked here, but a few others too.

Thanks!




Giday Nick. The 370gn bullet is from a custom Hoch mould made to my own design and while I have sent sample bullets to many shooters the shipping is horrendously expensive when sending them offshore.
I have run it to 2365fps over 74gn Varget (2208) and to 2415fps over 87gn H4350 (2209) and there is also the exceptionally accurate load over the 63gn H4350 at 1900fps that Eagle mentioned above although mine is shot with a hunting aperture sight (customised Williams)



Even the Ht bullet at 2415fps over 87gn H4350 is a very huntable accuracy and while I didn't measure the 5 shot group, I don't think I would have missed an average sized aanimal





Are you a caster yourself as with the mould details you could have a Hoch mould made. It was made on 5-16-08 and is numbered C6610 425 345
