Lyman 40043

[lawboy]

Oh, another one in the lot just recieved is marked 40043. I am stumped on this one. It is a a roundnose, flatpoint style with two round grease grooves and a plain base. I guess it could be 40 cal. Closest I have found in my books so far (still have a pile to look in) is a no. 40143, which is consistent with lyman changing the way they designate the nominal diameter. the 40143 looks the same and is listed at 172grs. What is it intended for cartridge wise?

.38-40.

I shoot the 40043 in the .40 S & W. Mine weigh 165 grs. My mold has been HP'd by Buckshot.

I've shot mine into wet sand out of a 40 pistol. When it comes to a stop, it is .760 " diameter.

Ben ..

What do those drop from the mold at, what do you size them to and how do you like that Russin Unique?

holy crap that is nice! Well, I do not own a 40 S&W but my brother has two H&K USPs in 40. What I do have is a S&W 610 revolver in 10mm. I will cast some up and give them a try in the 10mm. Damn, now I want one cavity HPed like yours! Had buckshot HP on cavity of a 3118 mould to shoot in 32H&R and LOVE the bullets it throws. Then I went and sold both 32 revolvers :???:
I am going to enjoy this mould!
