To carry on where we left off...Smokeless in a Mauser M1871 or 71/84

Patrick, at first i must admit, that i wrote you the wrong bullet weight not 350grs. Sorry for that. We use 300grs. KSHS with .451 dia in .45 cal downsized to .446 with a H&E sizeing die in the Lup a matic RCBS press. Lubricate it with Redding case wax from Henke (# RD21022). You loose a bit of the coating appr. 3-5% on some bullets, because they aren`t exactly straight. After sizing you can easily rub the wax down with a towel . The OAL is 74mm. The loads in SP4 are not ready if they will be ready we send them and also the TB loads to the Munich Proofhouse. Did you ever used Pyrotex ? Have you some experiences with this stuff?

Regards

Gunner
