Team.
I while back I reported about the .40cal hollow base mould our member 'Glen' sent me. I paper patch it to .403 and over 30gr Swiss 3Fg is SHOOTS like a house on fire in my Colerain barreled Wesson. I do, however, get the odd little bit of inconsistency so for a hoot today I shot the 'baby' Minies over some LDPE poly wads I cut with a 3/8 punch. The material is .030 thick so in view of the hollow base I stack two wads under the bullet so they don't collapse. I cleaned all the oil out of the barrel then fired a blank 30gr charge to foul the bore after a couple of clearing caps, then loaded and shot. Here is the 50m/55y yard target.

0.60 inch it measures. I was very happy off buck horn sights.
