Anyone shoot the Beartooth WFNGC 432-250 either actual or MP Molds Clone

Greetings Gents,





Anyone shoot the Beartooth WFNGC 432-250 either actual or MP Molds Clone?

Finally got around to casting some of these fine boolits and was wondering if anyone used the load data from the Beartooth Bullets webpage as a start point for load development.

The MP Molds Cup Point Casts these at 239.5 grains. Perfect for pistol use. Going to load 11.0, 11.3, 11.6, 11.9 and 12.2 Grains of Unique to see whats the most accurate and manageable from my Taurus M44.

If anyone shoots this boolit or similar at the weight range let me know what your findings are.

(MIHA has about 4-5 of these left if you just happen to want one)

I have the (.454) MP clone. I like 18 grains of 2400, WLP Primer and Starline brass in my Marlin 1894 Carbine. I neck size my brass for the carbine. Size the bullets to .433 diameter, using Carnuba Red in a Star.

In my Redhawk, same load does well as I can hold. However, I don't neck size the brass for it.

What is neck sizing 44 brass?
It shows some promise. I shot from 11-12 grains of Unique behind the MP Version cup point boolit at 239 grains. Yesterday at the range if not for the flyers it would have been a great day. I would touch 3 boolits at 100 yards and throw two. Then I touched 4 and threw one off the paper.

I think I learned something though...

Dont cast, coat, size and shoot in the same day.
Dont size to .431 and air cool and think the boolits will magically obturate into your overbored rifle.

I have some of those bullets cast/coated, just haven't had the time to start test loads with them yet.

Was playing around with a contender & plinking loads yesterday using unique powder.

After initial firing of brass, size the brass only as far as the bullet will be seated. I use RCBS Cowboy dies.
