Not exactly what you think it is. I am curious as to the length of a 350grn. WFN or "bore Riding Tangential Ogive" as far as how much of it sticks down into the case for my 480 Achilles Long data. You see, as some of you who frequent he levergun forum know, I am working on a conversion project involving a levergun and the Blackhawk I broke the backstrap on and has to lengthen the achilles case to make it feed through the levergun without a whole gang of modifications to the guts and now have more case capacity than the original, therefore the original data is worthless for my usage and now that the bullet molds and barrels are in my possession the project is really rolling. I just need to come up wit hsome good starting data before the levergun comes back from the smith, the blackhawk is done and sitting in the corner of my safepatiently waiting.

NBY, the closest I can get to that is a 340 gr SSK WFN design. The length from the base of the bullet to the bottom of the drive band at the crimp groove is .500.
Hope this helps...

NBY, Beartooth bullets lists overall length and crimp to nose dimensions for all their bullets. They have the heavier WFNs. Just click on the "View Details Tab" for the desired bullet in the following link. www.beartoothbullets.com/bulletselect/index.htmPaul |

Thanks Paul, I now know Beartooth's 350grn. bullet is .371" inside the case, may need to get a different mold made as my 480 heeled bullet only sticks into the case .200"

Now I need a small favor from someone on this board if you would be ever so kind. If anyone out here has and 350grn. Beartooth bullets would you be ever so kind as to check case capacity to the base of the bullet wit h2400 and H110 as I no longer own a gun so chambered (it got turned into the 480 achilles long I;m trying to develop data for) and it really doesn't make a lot of sense for me to order 100 bullets just to check case capacity. Please, and thank you if you go through with it.
