Hey Guys, posted this on castboolits but doesn’t hurt to get more opinions..
I traded into a ruger super redhawk in 480 and currently have the Lee 325gr mold and I will be buying the 400gr as well. Plan was to plink with the 325 and hunt with the 400 but after reading up on the capabilities of the 480 I really wanted to have something on the deep end as a just to have.
I know a member on castboolits, Paul H, has a 460gr wfn he was able to sling at 1100fps or so and I wanted to follow suit but admit I am not as well versed in designing these things. I played with mountainmolds designer and so far have drawn up the following- see attached
Goal was a cylinder length wide meplat freight train, almost like a 480 version of John ross’ s&w500 700gr, again just for kicks, but wanted to ask if stability or pressure would be an issue with my oal. If Paul was able to make it work, it’s then of course doable, just couldn’t find the dims of the mold he used.
Thanks to all for any input they will lend.
