In my Winchester Self Loader .401 I've been using 250 gr cast bullets over 22 grs IMR4227, and they work great, but the recoil in that short rifle is pretty intense. Accurate Molds has a mold for a .401, 206 gr bullet. I'm thinking that the lighter bullet would reduce the recoil, but, would the amount of 4227 needed to eject the case balance out the weight reduction?
The question should have been: will a light bullet work in the WSL?

yep i will be using both 206 grain and the 240, that accurate makes molds for.
After messing with the 1907 in .351, I really would like to have a 1910 in .401.
Somewhere, I have a four cavity mold of the RN bullet Lyman or Ideal designed for these rifles, not sure why. Seems like bullet selection would be a lot better for the .401 than the .351.
