Thanks.
But too late, its in my hands already, we'll have to see how it pans out.

B that 445 bullet should work well in the 45’s altho it may prove better in the 16 twist barrels when the distance gets long
Sc 55 w part will likely be your best bet to wrap it with

Thanks Don, my plan is to start with SC 55W, once I get to casting. Have 2, 17 twists, and soon to have another 16 twist. But with the hollow base the length "should" work well in the 18 twists also.
