Huey, from previous posts on this forum you have been working up your loads for this caliber and utilizing GT bullets. Have you loaded/shot the 180 gr. GT lead hollow point? If so, do you use a cannelure tool on the bullet? I shoot a Buckeye Sports 38-40 10mm convertible Ruger SA and purchased one of Gary's 401 GNR with an extra cylinder for 38-40. I have had an issue with certain cast bullets that have a tendency to back out. All bullet types have the same .401 dia. Before I purchase a tool I thought maybe you could give me a little insight into your experience of reloading for this caliber. Thanks
