You use a power case trimmer?

I loaded up some ammo but .401 bullets in the .30-30 brass expanded is too big. I'll pass them FL "loaded in the .40 S&W sizer to see if that takes them down a few thou. Check with pin gauges. I'm gonna have me a talk with Mr. Manson, soon.
run them back thru the 400 GNR sizer die

after they are loaded. Won't hurt a thing. if you are using lead bullets that may be the problem. We have sold quite a few sets of 400 GNR dies and have had no complaints at all about them needing sizing back down. I have loaded a gazillion rounds for our test firing and use jacketed bullets and have had no problems either.
Yep, that's the little issue, 0.001" never seemed

so much. I use cast bullets, normally 0.401-0.403". Well, since 1874 anyway. The spec is set up for a .400" jacketed slug. I'll make some adjustments.
I was able to re-size a .416" cast bullet (325 gr.) to 0.401, turning it into a serious 10mm hunting bullet. Almost, but not quite there. Missed it by that much...
Damn, you sure are older than I thought.

I'm glad I didn't send you a box of bullets prematurely.

I'll get it sorted so you can use them in the .400 GNR carbine or 10mm auto.
Irv, I don't think he understood your post

but 1874 makes him at least 145 years old.
Keep us posted on that 400 Gnr, very interesting cartridge.

are to be 10 gr. of Trail Boss with those cast slugs. The brass is tapered so upon firing they fill out a bit. Sean has some good loads and I plan to tinker to skirt places he didn't tread. Just to see. My discovery today is something guys might want to know.
Hornady makes a Muzzleloading Sabot .45/10mm. The 10mm bullet is a 200 gr. pointy rubber tipped wonder. I do not think they are commercially available yet, outside the sabot combos. I have some too. I'm also eyeing the .405 Winchester 300 gr. but I think it's a bit heavy. Would make a killer hog bullet or possibly for larger game.
This would make a dandy Southern Black Bear gun, wouldn't it?!! Shorted to 1.8", very easily done, it's legal as a classic straight wall hunting cartridge for those special states. Not far from the .40-50-265 Sharps straight, in size.
Some cast .41 to 10mm plinking bullets converted.
