    Mihec 45-70 "Keith styled" 500 gr HP SWC

    Does anyone have interest in 45-70 that casts at .460 weighing 500gr with WW? I'd like to run this as a big-sister mold to my 400gr boolit.

    I could go for that without the lube grooves. Or with grooves, plenty of bearing surface.

    Without grooves, it's gonna add 75gr to the weight. Still interested?

    Hi Fastleo- What do you like about a crimp groove? Is it a verification of boolit position in the case? Or is there a need to have your pressures higher than without? I'd really like to understand this better, because all my data says they aren't an advantage. I would love to learn on this topic.
