44-77 brass

Kurt, I think this bullet will make for a fast reload bullet depending. If your barrel is throated it should be dandy, if it isn't, the front driving band can be easily sized down just under bore size and that should work very well also. That would allow you to seat it with the first band and grease grove out of the case.
I do know of a gentleman out in CA that is a retired machinist that makes custom sizing dies, but any machinist could whip one out quickly. I was doing a little looking on the net and found another guy that is making them for $25 each and he is using 12L14 for his dies. I was a little surprised at his choice of materials, but since that is what he is using and I happen to have some on hand it took me about an hour to turn the od, drill and bore the id, turn a 10 deg lead in and polish it. I used a piece of brass rod that was polished down a little for the ejector rod and it all works just fine. I can size the first band down to .4372 without any problems at all.
Would you like some of these bullets to range test? If so drop me a PM with your address and I will send 25 of them out to you in as cast condition.
As far as the information on barrels and such, I have the advantage of time on my hands (retired) and free long distance. Only problem is getting someone on the other end to pick up the phone.
