Hi Gang,
I think I'd like to give ppb's a try. I don't know if the chamber in my rifle will work well with them or not and will probably just buy some bullets to try before getting a mould. I looked at Mont. Precision Swaging's list and there are tapered and straight sided bullets listed. Maybe some of you who have been doing this for a while could point out the advantages/disadvantages of each.
I noticed, rdnck, that you say you do not lube the outside of the patched bullet, is that correct? Do you use a lube cookie then? An aquaintance warns that ppb's will wear my barrel out faster than anything-any truth to that?
My barrel slugs .400" x .408" and seems to have a "gentle" leade into the rifling. Some say patch to bore size, some say patch to groove dia. Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ted K.
