Thinking about bullets for Gary's new 366 Falcon...

I suspect it'd be easy to order Lee Sizer Dies from their Custom Shop in .370" and .366" to size down the various .375" bullets for the 375 Win and 38-55.

Would be a unique cartridge for the G2. Bullets could even be HP'd if you wanted.

This will be a cartridge for the purist. But, has great potential and interests me a great bit.

It's been my experience with push through

sizers that 0.010" is about all I want to try and push through to size down. Also you need to lubricate the bullet and consider how much of a lead core it has compared to jacket. These thick jacket bullets might get stuck. A traditional jacketed lead core will work though. (I tried a homogeneous bullet once, broke my press linkage)

I can make .401 from .410" pretty easy, but those are thinner jacket pistol bullets. The Serrias make real pretty 10mm custom bullets, in particular. It would be a good experiment.

That's why I suggested two dies in small increments...

Believe it would work fine. I have a Lyman Big Orange that's bolted to a 2.5" Cypress bench. Its not giving up the ghost.

And Hawk has a 200gr and a 230gr bullet I want to try. I am interested to see how the smaller case with faster powders compare to my 366GNR short barrel Encore that worked so well for me on Africa.
