Will cast bullets for 303 Brit work as PPBs for 32-40?
« on: February 08, 2003, 10:55:05 AM »
Greetings,
   I'm stuck offshore underway on one of your nations warships and mind is focused on future post war projects for the beach, If I ever get back there; but anyway, heres the issue I need help with:
   I bought Matthews book and the question I still can't seem to find an answer to is this:  I have a mould for a 303 British that drops from the mould at .314 across the bands and the nose is at .304.  Should I attempt to patch this bullet for use in my .321 bore 32-40 Thompson Center TCR single shot or is this a waste of time?  If that wont work, can someone make a recommendation.

thanks in advance for your help.

Don't see why it wouldn't.  I'd try some 15 lb paper.  Should take you to the diameter you need to get to.
