A neat bullet that one may try...

The 300 gr. pointed projectile for the .405 Winchester is a diameter of .411", a simple matter to mash it through a LEE sizer to knock 0.001" off the size. That makes it a perfect hefty and thick jacket slug for super deep penetration in .41 single shot platforms. I have even done some very drastic re-shaping by taking it all the way down to .401". It's best to chuck the sizer in a vice to tap the lubed bullets through with a mallet, too much stress for a press. I'd not care to go farther than that.

A more rational application is to re-size them for use in the .401 WSL at 0.408". Easy to do. I can make the WSL cases from several things, including the .414 SM far left.

- You can use 4198 also. Very accurate and will drop - Blake, 2018-11-12, 17:36
  - 4198 sounds interesting - PD, 2018-11-12, 18:49
    - I use the Speer 210 deepcurl. The xtp will be fine - Blake, 2018-11-12, 19:51
- Just switch powders, 4227 is a good one - WB, 2018-11-12, 07:48

        They made a “flat point” 300 grain also - steve todd, 2018-11-12, 13:28
