Light bullets for the 465H&H

Finding bullets in .468 diameter is a real chore, actually near impossible if your looking for light for caliber bullets. I have some Hornady .475 XTP bullets that weigh 325 grains. Can they be swaged down to .468 diameter? If so where can I get the dies to do it.

I would speak with Corbin Manufacturing regarding the dies.

They made me a die to size .410 down to .408 and I'm very pleased with it.

I would check with Hawk Bullets about making some lighter .468 bullets.

Contact Hawk bullets at www.hawkbullets.com.

Get a bullet around 350grains with the .035 jkt.

I have used Hawks in my 450/400 and my 9,3x74R.

They are great killers.

Ditto on Hawk. They aren't my favorite for some uses but if you want an odd size bullet Hawk will accomodate you. The money you save on swaging dies will go a long way towards purchasing the bullets.

"Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson.
