Need a bullet for 50-70
« on: July 01, 2006, 08:30:37 PM »
Veral, I am very glad to see you back!  I have an oddball application I need a bullet for.  I have a 6 1/2" 50-70 contender.  The twist is 1 in 26".  I am shooting a Lee that casts at about 435+ grains.  This gun shoots very well, 1" or less at 50 yds., but I need a WFN or LFN mold for hunting.  I know from past experience that one of your molds will probably shrink groups, which is a bonus.  I mainly need a wider nose than these pointy bullets I have now.  The big problem is, I see you only list .512" diameter, I really need .513" or slightly larger.  Can you make this diameter?  I will order immediately if you do.  By the way, how backlogged are you at present time?  Thanks for your input, (and your molds!)

  Thanks, and I'm glad to be back.

I cut any diameter asked for from 22 caliber to 10 bore.  Ask and you shall receive, promptly, as I have no backlog.  I would personally lean toward an LFN for hunting with 50 caliber.
