just took my own advice

[bruce moulds]

and ordered a new mould from baco.
you really can't have too many.
0.396 pp elliptical 415 gns.
not optimum for my 13 twist, but will mainly be used at 200 yds, so don't need to take advantage of the b.c. potential of the twist, which can handle up to 1.550 long.
it will patch to 0.001 over bore diameter, purely for breech seating in scheutzen matches.
the 40/72 will be droptubed full with 85 gns of powder, a 0.060 wad, and an airgap of about 1/8" between wad and bullet.
the 40/60 maynard would be superior fir scheutzen due to reduced recoil, but this is what I have and long range is the priority.
still much easier to shoot than the 45/2.4 filled with 100 gns powder and a 545 gn bullet.
keep safe,
bruce.
