At large, whereabouts unknown.
Some of you may remember the long handgun bullet design discussion on CB several years back. James Gate is (was?) the founder of Dixie Slugs, a shotgun slug & ammo manufacturing company in Florida. He posted three of his revolver bullet designs that caused quite a stir and had the revolver guys going back and forth on James bullet designs. I believe these designs are now listed by Accurate. I found the 357 mag design for certain, another design that appears to be the 44 mag bullet with a slightly longer nose, and I didn't look at all for the 45 Colt/Casull design because I no longer work with 45 Colt.
Anyway, has anybody here ever had moulds cut for Gates designs? How did they work for you? The old boy was completely certain of himself, and his designs and the thread was very informative and useful once everybody calmed down and starting talking with each other, and not at each other. I've always been curious about James designs, and for some reason they popped into my head again. The original designs are below. I thought enough of them to keep a copy all these years.
