Vintage Winchester help 44-40

[cephas]

S
Does anyone know of a relatively easy/cheap way to bump up the bullet diameter without resorting to individually paper jacketing each bullet?

Another thing I'm thinking is my lead might not be as soft as I thought it was. I don't have a hardness tester unfortunately.

Looking for new ideas to try.

Thanks

For cheap, I mean frugal, ballpark estimation of alloy hardness: http://forum.pafoa.org/showthread.php?t=169093

Sounds like this wouldn't be enough for your situation but 0.003" can be obtained by "beagling" the mold. Simply using aluminum tape on the face of the mold blocks. http://www.castpics.net/subsite2/HowTo/Beagling.pdf
