OK, here's the question I have and be patient. I have two really nice custom Sako rifles. One is a 9.3x62 Mauser and the other is a .404 Jeffreys (trying to sell the Jeffreys to get swaging equipment). A .366" boolit mould is very difficult to find and expensive if I do find one. I want a 250-300gr boolit in .358" and paper patch it to shoot in the 9.3mm. I want a 400gr boolit for the .404 but no idea what a good diameter would be. It's a groove diameter of .423". I was thinking of a .411" and patching it. Also I have a .500 BPE double I want to shoot. I have about 100 rounds of original ammo for it but don't wanna waste it, it's Kynoch so it'll probably be duds anyway. I want to use a 50-70 die and a .500 NE shell holder to neck size the brass I am about to buy.
Also I have a Howdah pistol that's a 20 bore with a mint bore(s) is it possible to paper patch for this too? I have 150 rounds of 20 bore Peters brass for it...really old too.
