Hello,
I am looking for a good bullet mold for the .38-40, to use with BP. The best one I have found, on paper, is the Big-Lube DD 38-40 190gr. I am no bullet expert, but I wonder about the huge lube groove... It's great for lubrication, no doubt... However, with soft lead, wouldn't the bullet compress upon firing and could the base expand before passing the forcing cone and increase pressure?
Has anyone here shot this bullet in old (pre-1900) revolvers?
Thanks,
Gil.
