Sizing bullets

[Nuclearcricket]

My 40-65 isn't a Shiloh, its a custom barreled Browning 78. It has an 18" twist badger barrel. Sadly that is what was in flavor back when I had it put together. All in all its a very nice rifle, it has had a tang welded on and you just can't tell that it wasn't original to the action. Ron Snover had originally done work on the action. The one thing I don't like is it's a straight grip stock and my finger gets wrapped each time I pull the trigger. I have a 400 and a 350 grain molds for it that should work but in the past I had only worked with the 400 and was disappointed but I now have a pretty good idea of why. I am hoping to be working with a new 44-77 come spring. I will be using a bullet from Accurate that should with a little luck be a slip fit in the case neck. The bullet drops from the mold at .447 which I feel is the correct size. A lot will depend I guess on what size the reamer cuts the neck. Worse case is that I will have to neck size a little, if thats the case I have a bushing die that I will use for that. As for the .45 and .38 I will need to cast up some bullets and just see how they fit. One of these days I will get the other projects finished up and off of the bench and get the casting equipment set back up and drop some bullets to play with. So many things to do and so much cold weather putting the stop to the fun for a while.
