RE: 40-90BN and paper patch
Kurt, best as I can measure with my dial caliper is 1.465 from ahead of the rim to the shoulder. Finishing loading up some of the 475 grain RN bullets (mold cut by Brooks based on the bullets you sent me. Patch is 27/32 with 3/32 folded under the base. These have shot pretty well. The 440 grain Medford style bullet also has done good work out to 400 yards on steel. This mold was also cut by Brooks from some bullets Stephen sent me. He uses this bullet for hunting and has had pretty good results based on the photos he has posted. I am now dry patching both bullets with 18 thousands rag bond paper it seem to be working well. Of course you can shoot it any time we get on the range.
