A boolit Question.

[Beekeeper]

And yes I have checked everyones catalog that I know of but am sure I missed some.

Stats.
I shoot a 71/84 Mauser barrel on a Gahendra Martini frame.
71/84 standard boolit is .446 340 graind flat pointed.
I use a Lyman 446110 boolit in my 71/84 mausers.

In the Martini Mauser would like to go up to maybe 420 grain
Would like the money boolit shape.
No special reason other than looks and the nose maybe fitting the bore a little better
and will allow me to seat it out a little closer to the lands.

Any ideas?

How about 480 grains?

Saw that one Charlie .
Was thinking maybe something a little lighter.
Being a newbe at BP has its drawbacks.
Am not sure the 43 mauser will shoot something that heavy but it is the best I've seen so far.

Have you looked in the NEI catalog?
Did you see this design?
Supposed to weigh about 460 grains ...

The RCBS 446-370 gr works well
