Need ideas for 44 cal mold for big boy

Post by Johnnyjr » Sat Oct 23, 2021 1:09 pm

My Henry slugs at .432. where can I get a mold that will cast this dia? All the bullets I have are said to be hard cast which I will melt down. I would like maybe a truncated 240 gr,or round nose flat point. Appreciate any thoughts on this. Johnny

I use Noe 265gr rnfp 432, tl design with gascheck, still lube with traditional lube. sized to .432, bhn 15 (weght around 275gr), excellent accuracy no leading @1500fps in my allweather 44mag.

also tried lee rnfp 200gr sized to .431 works great with 44sp loads.

Don't forget to remove the lube ring on those that you want to melt down.
