Gentlemen; I have a factory #1 in 38-55. &nbsp;500 were made in the late '70s for the Cast Bullet Shooters Assoc. &nbsp;Wonderful fun gun but i have a problem. &nbsp;Ruger confirms that they made the bores .379( mine slugs .3798 as best as I can measure) at the request of the buyers. <!--emo&???--><img src="http://beartoothbullets.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo--> &nbsp;Any suggestions for cast .400 bullets? &nbsp;My .377 Lyman and Saeco moulds sure won't work and .375 jacketed start tumbling in the bore!

Wow, Nice piece of equipment! *

Interesting about the groove diameter! *

The molds our bullets fall out of, will only cast up to .3795&quot;, and won't do you much good with a groove diameter as large as you have.

I would suggest looking into an NEI bullet mold for your gun, and I know that Walt makes several designs up to and including .382&quot; that would be imminently suitable for your Ruger No.1 in .38-55. *

This would be my first choice in locating a mold of dimensions you are seeking.

I'm interested in what you choose to do, and please let us know what you find!

God Bless,

Please sub .380 or.381 &nbsp;for the .400 i typed in my orginal post. Thanks! &nbsp;HH &nbsp;

Hillbilly hunter, most mold manufacturers will for a small fee enlarge your mold for you. Take care and have fun. Swany
