Hello, everyone. I have a Steve Brooks Postell style single cavity that drops a 350gr., .409 dia. from 30-1 lead-tin alloy. This is perfect for a .40-70 Remington rolling block I intend to use B.P. loads in. I might be getting another rifle in future with a nominal groove dia. of .411 to .412 (won't know for sure of course until I can slug it).
Since I will be using only smokeless in the new rifle, I was wondering if bullet dia. could be increased .003" by either alloying or by cranking up the pot temp.?
Will probably be using harder alloy anyway..but don't really want straight Lino. Thanks!
