I'm thinking of using a different bullet in my .44 Marlin. All this talk about the 1 in 38 twist is making me think I'd be better off with a lighter bullet. Something like the Lyman 429215 comes to mind. Before I rush out and buy one, do any of you already cast that one? Could I buy a hundred or so from you, sized .433 if possible? Or some other brand of about the same size.
I have two 429215 DC molds. One is the first mold I ever owned and has cast many, MANY thousand bullets. I can't even figure the trade that produced the second mold. I wish I could figure out which is which, I wiould like to sell the extra.
How about the 200 or 214 grain plain based mold from Lee? Six at a time is the way to go!
I would cast you some WW bullets from either, but do not have a sizing die over 0.431"
If you would cast up some from the Lyman mold, I have a .433 sizer, courtesy of Lee. I also have gas checks. Send me a PM and I will send you some money and my address. If this bullet works out, I'm going to buy a 4 banger.Quote:

How heavy are those boolits? Is it a SWC profile?
Inquiring minds want to know! :-P
Depends upon alloy, of course, but nominal weight is 215 grains.Quote:
