I don't patch them. Come to think of it two of the other guys in our club don't either. Lee moulds see pretty good for the price but I know theres ment to be better ones created specificalyy for the MH by an Australian based company and some guy in the US called old jonti or something?.

Could you measure one of the bullets ? I'd be interested to see if they are .457 unpatched.Originally Posted by swidds

i might get a slating here but as anyone tried trailboss instead of bp.
i know of someone from another forum who as been very successful with the gahendra rifle.
all you do is fill the case with this high density powder to a line where your bullet is seated then weigh it.....then use 70% of the volume as a starting point to a maximum of the original volume
