[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2539163, member: 48043"] There are things you can do to go full power (and actually make use of powder like lil gun) with cast pills in a 44 like using a gas check mold and using rather hard alloy also. I'd also use a good lube like Lyman moly. I can run water quenched pills in my 375 H@H to 1750 fps with Lyman moly using a 280 grain gs pill with the driving band engaged in the rifling on loading. That load prints just under 1.5moa usually. My 405 Win seems to have turned on with a RCBS mold intended for a 416 rem that's gas checked and lubed with Lyman moly too. I still have to work that up with a different powder as rl10 was tossing bullets a foot low at 100 yards with the sight fully up (too peaky- wasn't getting enough work done. I suppose the pressure was coming up quick then falling off like a rock) and I don't feel like changing the blade. The old Lyman plain base mold shoots like a shotgun in my 405. I even tried using over powder wads for a .410 shotgun with only marginal success. I guess I should have read up a bit more in Ken Waters work wirth the 405; he could never get the Lyman plain base to work well in his 405 either. I haven't gone to gas checked bullets in my pistols but may do so in the near future as I want to burn up the n110. Just haven't had to I guess. [/QUOTE]
