That group is really quite extraordinary, John—a superb accomplishment!

I don’t see the mould design on the Accurate web-site. Is it still available? Is it in iron, brass, or aluminium?

Winnetou,
Thank you for the acknowledgement. Others could have done the same or better with the rifle / ammunition combination.

Here's the Acccurate Mold that is a copy of the 427098. Mine is in brass. When a mold is ordered, the buyer specifies the diameter.

Thanks! I don’t know how I missed that one; perhaps I was expecting to see a 200-grain number. The slightly higher weight is actually desirable, and makes something of a compromise between the 200-grain nominal .44WCF and 216-grain .44 Henry or 217-grain Colt’s New Lightning Magazine Rifle cartridges.
