.
Be it so moved that we need to test cast bullet base designs.
Using the original Keith 44 caliber mold as a starting point...
One model will be per Keith's original flat base.
One will be a bevel base like most commercial cast bullets, e.g., Oregon Trail.
And the third model will be a gas check version.
Everything else in the bullet design will be the same.
We will have LBT build three sets of four-cavity molds of each model to test to assure there is not something unique to a specific mold unrelated to the bullet base design.
We will use virgin bullet metal certified by a foundry with 8% antimony and 4% tin.
We will use Keith's Hercules 2400 powder charge.
We will need to load a thousand of each for testing.
Will need a new Dillon Super 1050 for loading the ammo.
We will need at least twenty new Ruger Super Blackhawks and an equal number of Redhawks. (Can a Ruger Forum experiment get some 1950 vintage S&W 44s too ?)
It will take some time so we will need a paid leave of absence from work.
Where do we send the bill ?
