New bullet

[Distant Thunder]

Don,

Being a not so recovering mold-aholic I need more information.
Weight?
Diameters?
Length?
Alloy?
Paper?

It sure is a good looking bullet and while I don't need one in .45 I can't help but think how such a good looking bullet would look even better sticking out of a .44-77 case!

I really like that you had it made with a longish base diameter requiring a bit deeper seating which is working well with bore PPBs in my .44-77. I would think a 2-D bullet would work even better seated in about .250 to .300".

I have some 2-D ellipticals loaded that are seated deeper that I hope to test for the first time this coming weekend at a gong match at 500 yards. If they look good there I'll load more to try at a mid range paper match in August.

These 2-D bullets are seated deeper than they are designed to be and if they shoot well I'll lengthen the base diameter in the mold to get the powder charge/compression/seating depth that will work best for Creedmoor. Somewhere between 82 and 85 grains of 1 1/2 Swiss would be about ideal for a 520-ish grain .44 caliber PPB.
