John MLee 200 gr RF .429
Does anyone shoot one of these? It looks like a good bullet for the bulldog. I would swap for 100 if some one wants. I have oddball .357's [180 LBT, 215 gr LY] or something else if it interest you. Gianni.

Bren Mk1Gianni, pard;
Deputy Al gave me the mould for this boolit, so I'll pack some up and get 'em off to you for trials. I don't believe this was the mould which the Salton Sea refused....! Do you want them nekkid or sized .429"? (I have to get a larger sizer die for .44s....)
I'll send along that book you were asking about, too. No need to return it, as it's about on its last legs anyway. I have your address from the e-mail you sent.
I'm using the Lee 200 RF as a plinker-type loading for my Mountain Revolver, and it shoots fine at about 900 fps. The load will be useless to you, as I'm using-up some fast-burning Herters' stuff donated to me by ben awhile back.
Regards from BruceB (aka Bren Mk1)

NewtireHi,
I have used this Hardened WW as cast with 13 gr. Blue Dot in my .444 1-38" twist and it's real good at 50 yds. Any more powder & the groups spread. My son likes it as it has almost no kick. Deadly on tin cans!

John MThanks Bruce/Bren. Include a note as to whether you would like 180 LBT's or 215 Ly .358 or may be we can swap some .429 or .454 if you want a sample. Gianni.

Ray SchuelerMT--I have this design and shoot it occasionally in my lighter Mtn Gun. I use 8g of Green Dot. Accuracy ain't bad, but not as good as old 429421. No recoil to speak of, and is a neat boolit to start someone out shooting the .44 mag.--Shuz
