I have not had any luck with any mold makers cutting a mold for this bullet I drew. It is based on the H&G #258, but with a much larger meplat. I'm hoping there is enough interest in a group buy to have somebody like Miha make them.

I sent you a PM reference the run...
Any word on this? I have not heard anything back.Quote:

I am interested
I just realized there is a mistake in that drawing. The as-cast diameter should be .412" not .411".
I sent a PM back, did not get a response. How short would the nose have to be to fit all production revolvers? .400" nose fits just fine in my new S&W 57-6.Quote:

For a Hollow point mold or new design...there has to be 25 buys. Might take us a while to get there.
I would be interested in the H&G 258 with a wider meplat. The crimp to meplat length on the original should fit the S&W N-frame cylinder.
Wasalmonslayer is working on a redesign for 40, I'll PM him and get him to give a status.

If its close enough in design to what Max is working on...I will yield to MaX. I have reached out to 45.2.1 to see if theres anything already on the shelf that can fit the bill for this as not to have a new cherry cut.Quote:

I wouldn't mind an original H&G 258 without alteration if that makes things simple. My main interest is a general purpose plinker. I do like the drawing in post 1 with equal length bands and lube groove.
I'm starting to think an unaltered one might be a good idea. I've found that the NOE 412-237-SWC should be the ticket for a wide meplat, hunting bullet. I was thinking a H&G #258 as Elmer intended it would be a good addition to the Elmer Keith tribute collection. Here is what I came up with, and is as close as I can measure based on bullets I have that claim to be clones, online drawings, etc.Quote:

There is some interest in the H&G 258 on the Elmer Keith tribute thread. Probably good to keep originals going there.

Why not stick to a wide meplat modified H&G 258 here?
I'd be a 4-cav buyer for the .300" meplat version. I have the NOE 237gr and it's chunkier than the one depicted in the first post.
I have yet to actually shoot the NOE version, but it sure looks like it could be a great hunting bullet. If I had found it earlier, I probably wouldn't have even posted this in the first place. I'm still interested in an H&G clone, but I could care less about the relatively small difference in meplat of .275" as Elmer designed, verses .300". I've shown both, I guess we will see which one people prefer.Quote:
