pp a .358 in a 375 win.

Hey guys, I doubt it is possible but I can not find a definite answer.

Can I PP a heavy 35 cal boolit in a .375 bore?

Figuring .375 - .359 is .016, is that to thick of a patch?

Thanks

That will work with black powder loads and soft boolits. Not with smokeless loads. You want 9,3mm boolits for a 375 if using smokeless.

I took a .375 lead, and rolled it the old fashioned way down to .373, and them patched it for my brother,
loaded it with 33.5 gr fffg goex, in a drop tube, put in a .004 card, .070 grease, and another .004 card. (seating depth of .430) I paper patched with eyeglass paper, I gently used a factory crimp.
I am just waiting for him to get better to go out and try them out.

I have been watching that paper patch trend on here for a bit I cast for the 9.3 mm (.368') I want more information on patching this boolit up to .375 H&H Mag.?

Well, it's the right size already so just wrap it up to .377" or so - whatever fits in a fired case - and you're good to go. I have two 9,3mm moulds I use in the 375 and they work beautifully without having to size them at all.
