.44 240GR RNFP Help with a few :)

[JesterGrin_1]

I would like to ask the people of this good forum if anyone pours these on this forum as I would like to try a few before purchasing 500 of them or getting a mold to make them myself.

A huge Thank You for anyone that can help out. :)

Jester,

Are you referring to something that is sold commercially? If so, list the brand you are looking at trying?

Then the key is what diameter do you need? Some commercial casters will size anywhere between .429 and .432.

I ask because if you get the size wrong, you will think it's a poor design. Or if this is your first attempt in that gun and it leads, you might think you have a crappy gun.

Every used gun I ever bought was leaded, so it happens. :grin: All the while the problem is fit.

I was looking at the Lyman #429667


Jester,

OK, now someone might be able to help you.

I would be on the safe side and ask for .431. The bore in my Marlin is .4305 and I have a tight one! :grin:

How hard do you want them? Or more to the point, what pressure levels are you going to load?
This is as important, almost, as size. I understand the need to try on the shoes before you buy. You'll be much happier with the results if you can provide all the criteria for selection.

Jester,

Send me your shipping information and I will send you some of the .44 240 RNFP in both .430 and .431 diameter...free of charge.

Please send that information to mike@mastercastbullets.com.

Hey, Jester... I have a Marlin Cowboy .44 with an oversize bbl., .4315 or so, a Ruger 'hawk, and a Contender. Bought a Saeco #431 mould that's supposed to throw a 250 gr. RNFPGC. Using #2 alloy they drop out at .431 and weigh 243 gr. I size .430 for all three guns. Using Larsen's 50/50 lube and a good charge of H110 they all shoot real well and don't lead. I'm pushing the loads in the Marlin hard enough they must be bumping up to seal well, they're going downrange at just over 1800 FPS and shoot into 2 in. @ 100 yds. This bullet shape feeds real well in the Marlin, which is the reason I got it in the first place.

Mike @ Mastercast is a fine fellow. It looks as if you are doing well with his counsel.

Jester, I have only tried the RNFP in 45 Colt, but was so impressed with the results of a 250 gr RNFP in 5 of my 6 guns that I ordered or bought RNFP molds for 45 Colt, 44 Mag and 38/357! I was shooting 1 inch groups at 100 yards with a winchester lever with their shortest bbl - 16 inches or whatever that little fly-speck comes in. My Colt SAA's were not far behind, shooting 1 ragged hole at 50 feet. I got an old H & G mold in 45, and ordered the others from Saeco, so it may take a while to get those. Hope they shoot even close to what I was getting from those cast 45 bullets I purchased from a company that I can't remember the name of. RNFP can be a very good bullet if, like everyone has said, the size matches up with the gun.

Mike and Kate from Mastercast are good people.In my pre-casting days,I used a lot of Mastercast boolits.When I first bought some moulds,Mike and my buddy George both gave me great advice on how to make fine shooting projectiles.I shot in a combat league a couple years at BVRP where Mike shot.Mike can do some mean shootin'!:Fire:
