Hi, my name is Tom and I'm a new quy. I spend my time in Cheney, WA and Bayview, ID. I am trying to put together .43 Mauser loadings in the original paperpatch. I have a Dopplebuchsflinte, a drilling and a cape gun all with .43 Mauser barrels. I have slugged them and they are between .432 and .434, not the .446 in the books. If I paper patch I end up .453 or so, and while I don't have a lot of experience I think 20 thousands over is way too much. There must be a lot of .43 sporters out there (a GunBrokers listing by Doublegun Headquarters reports the same .434 thing) so why no molds? Some pistol bullets are close, but I want a heavy bullet. Even Buffalo doesn't list one in the .425-6 range.
Any ideas or am I messed up in my thinking.
