Anyone have any 400gr. bullets for sale for a 400/450? Woodleigh makes .408 diameter but they have not run a batch since the fire.

Woodleigh bullets are very scarce, and they are the only source of that diameter besides some custom makers like Hawk. Perhaps you could consider purchasing a push through swage die from NOE bullet moulds? It should be no problem swaging a more standard .410" bullet to .408" | |||

If you have machine shops close to you that use CNC machines, it is relatively easy for them to make you some out of copper rod. Years ago I bought a CORBIN machine and dies to make large bore bullets. Worked great. But the limitations were that I was stuck with The fact the each set of dies made one bullet diameter and weight. So I bought a CNC lathe. With this I make ever conceivable size or weight. With G CODE a new bullet can be designed and made in minutes. | |||

You may want to try Hawk Bullets. They advertise 0.408” diameter bullets for sale. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Lee makes reasonable push thru sizer dies as well, as others have said should be no problem sizing down .410 bullets | |||

Is this the rifle that you had the barrells slugged? Right barrel is .404 and left barrel is .406. Did the Hawk bullets work? https://forums.accuratereloadi...241014862#4241014862 Jim | |||

This is a die I made to size .416 Hornady bullets down to .411 for my 400 Holland & Holland. Easy to make if you have lathe access.  | |||
