| Hey Pedestal,
I sent you an email with a diagram of the bullet case and stated that I have seen lead bullets form .403 to .409 advertised for this cartridge.
You may want to check with a bbs's that is dedicated to black powder issues.
Good Shooting,
Smoker* |

| Thanks all,
I was looking at the Wind River bbls in Brownells, and they are showing a groove dia. of .408. So I guess that's the "modern" version.. |

| My 1886 shoots the .408 very well.
Does anyone know what is used in the ammo available from the Old Western Scrounger>
thanks

I don't know for sure, but I'd bet it's the C&C 260gr .406 bullet they sell....
