44 boolet comparison

[abunaitoo]

Can someone post a picture of these boolets side by side.
Seaco 433
Lee 430-310
434640 GC
And any other .44 cal heavy bullet.

Looking for the differance in nose shape.

Don't have a Saeco 433 but here are a few to compare.

Hope this helps.

The nose looks something like the bullet that is to the right of Blammers NEI 315

DAM!!! Are those all the ones you currently have for 44?!?!?!? Thats crazy! I am JEALOUS!!

That's just what I was looking for.
The Seaco #433 looks like the Lyman 429640.
I checked the NEI web site looking for spects on the 325Gr, 260GR and 220GR.
They are not listed. (or I just can't find them)

And any other .44 cal heavy bullet.

This is the RCBS 44 Cal 300 Gr. Both molds have been modified by Erik Olhen at Hollow Point Bullet Mold Service. One mold converted to Cramer Style HP with one cavity also converted to plain base, the other cavity still casting gas check.

The second mold in both cavities remains flat point gas check and the second cavity converted to plain base.

Two molds, four cavities and four different hunting bullets. These molds are the cover picture on Glen's book.

This bullet in FP weighs 307 Gr. in PB and 304 Gr. in GC with WW + 2% tin. The bullet length is .870" and the nose length is .415". RCBS marked casting diameter is .430" and it casts my alloy right at .430" in the GC cavity, the plain base cavity I had Erik open up the base band slightly when he removed the gas check shank and it casts .4315". The FP meplat is 65% @ .280".

Hope this helps . .

I'm not really sure how many .44 moulds I have. Unlike Blammer I don't have a group photo.
Some MIHEC 432640 HP's

Some Lee Group buy .434" copies of the 503

There are some 429421s and some 429650s. That's my HP 429421 mould. I can't remember if any are in the photo.
