    240gr LRNFP from 3D Ammunition?

    I loaded up a bunch of these for my 44-40 Marlin and got a tack driver at 50yrds. Yeah I know but I have yet to try it at further distances. 3D ammo was from out west and looks to be out of business. Is there anything out there that looks like it?

    I don't think that is a cast bullet.

    I believe it is swagged with lube rings cut with a cannalure tool.

    I do like the looks of it.

    Hope someone knows a mold number.

    that is definatly a canellure cut/rolled lube groove.
    i have done the same thing when swaging 375449's up to .430 to make a 280gr rnfp.

    i'd say it is a custom type swaged boolit,probably from a C&H swage set.
