    I got this with the intention of loading some up for a 277 Wolverine that I traded for. Now I just have to get some hot metal poured. I got some gas checks and will powder coat the boolits. I have seen hints of people using 357 Mag data for cartridges like this and wonder if this might be a candidate for that kind of experiment??

    #280468 was made in two different boolit weights , 109 grains and 114 grains .
    Which weight did you get ?

    The box says 114 gr but I use scrap with pewter in it so that would only be an approximate weight. Either one would be fine I think My twist rate is 1 in 11 according to the script on the barrel.

    There's a YouTube channel, Booze and Bullets, that just started loading for a 277 WLV with cast. I believe he has both versions of this mold. Recent video in the past few days, should be more coming. The MDWS forums have a load data spreadsheet but most of it isn't for boolits, just J-words.
