I sent Accurate all the chamber drawings for this. And articles about the 0.355" bullet that is used. Told him to make it around 180gr. This is what he came up with.


I will be getting this once I get all the other parts for the upper.

looks like you accounted for the +.003 tolerance in the throat.
I probably would have convexed the nose back to the front drive band [ALA the RNFP style] instead of using the sloping drive band.[mostly for short range deer hunting]
but with that nose shape, and the need for H/S'ing on the case mouth, I can see why you done what you did there.

did you give Tom a +.001 tolerance, or go with a +- tolerance to hit 358 dead on?

I need to have it +- at 0.357" I don't want to size too much. I am getting my barrel tomorrow so I will find out more then after do a pound cast.

This was the first revision till I get some more #'s from the barrel. I have some 1x fired brass that I found. I did a partial size with a 9mm Luger die on a couple pieces. Hopefully it will chamber.

be interesting to try a carbide or steel 38/357/357 max die and see what you get.
I guess much of it would depend on the case thickness, but might be worth keeping in mind.
I neck size my 358 win brass with an old steel 38 special die and use the flair spud as an M type die for it too.
