Hi fellas, not a cast question but thought someone here might have an idea on the following. wondered if its possible to get a big game bullet to .429 cal. Plan is to use in a long throated 444 marlin on a bolt action I picked up which with the added COAL could probably run to similar power as a ruger no1. in 45-70. Would love a jacketed bullet to try. Hawk makes a 350 grain bullet in 444 but I cant get hold of them by phone or email.
Other options are .435 " 410 grain JSP bullets meant for the 425 westley richards and .423" 347 grain JSP bullets meant for the old 10.68mm.
Woodleigh makes both types in standard jacketed round nose softpoints. I either need to bump up the .423 bullet or reduce the .435 bullet to .429 or so.
I know one of the corbins made heavy swaging presses for bullet making at some point. Might be expensive but I could probably supply a few fellas these bullets with similar guns.
Thoughts, ridicule, exorcisms all welcome
