Preacherman Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hi, anybody have experience, opinions of Saeco Bullet Mold #401 38-40 WCF (401 Diameter) 190 Grain Flat Nose bullet? Thanks, Preacherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three Foot Johnson Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I have a Saeco #62401 mold, and the shoulder is problematic in rifles for a couple reasons - #1, it catches on the chamber mouth and #2, my 1873's are so short-throated, the shoulder hits the rifling before the round is fully chambered. It chambers fine in my '66's and Marlins. The best mold I've found came from NEI Handtools, #401-195-WCF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacherman Posted June 11, 2019 Author Share Posted June 11, 2019 Thanks! What i was thinking. I'm currently using an RCBS Cowboy bullet, but the crimp groove is somewhat anemic as the nose is slightly undersized and the crimp doesn't hold unless I aggressively crimp with Lee factory crimp. Not the best situation for me. Always in my head, "is it gonna push"? Could I get a few bullets from you to try? Been spending a lot of money on too many unsuccessful bullet ventures in this endeavor. Trial and error can be painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Foot Johnson Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 <--- 92 and counting for this guy. Four of them are duplicates, so 88 different molds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
