    WTT/WTB: .448"-.447" boolits

    Does anyone have a few .448"-.447" boolits they'd like to sell or trade?
    I'd like to try before I order a mold. I have cash or can trade for other boolits

    What gun would those be used in? Is this a muzzleloader, or rifle or handgun, smokeless or BP?

    I'm guessing he's a 43 Mauser shooter.

    Have you looked at the various .445 and .450 minie designs?
    Second hand ones are frequently to be had relatively inexpensively and a flat base plug isn't difficult to cobble up.

    Like the Lyman 446110 design or rcbs 44-370?

    I use both in werndl’s, gras’, and a mannlicher

    This is for a 1871 11mm mauser. I'm looking at a heeled bullet design, but I still want top know how wide I can go in the heel.
    .446" fit & chamber, .44875" won't. I want to try .447" +.448" to see if they'll chamber to know how to order my custom boolit
