As cast this was a .446" bullet and when patched with tracing paper of around .0029" thickness....it fit snugly into the mouth of a FL sized WW .45/70 case but it was too tight to chamber into an 1885 Browning chamber soooooo.....I ran this dude through a .444" Cornell swage die (meaning I ran the naked bullet through the die and then re-patched it) and now....using the same patch paper it works like onto a champ; fits snugly into the case and when chambered the patch is engraved as you can observe here! Other than a group of shots wadded up tightly into the middle of a target....this is the way I like for my PP rounds to look!
