I collect Herters Powermag Revolvers and have (4) .401s & 1 each of a .44 mag & .357 mag. These molds are not in my stable and I am willing to buy or trade.

I am not needing molds for the .41 mag. I am very familiar with those articles and several more. As stated I am wanting only the molds listed, I have about 6 various ones now, but want to add those to my collection.

Dave, as I surf for 41 caliber stuff, the 400, 401, and 403 moulds taunt me, they really do. I saw a 403 that looked pretty nice, don't remember the last three digits. No, you can't have any .410/.412 moulds.

If there is a better description of the genesis or use of these bullets, I'd like to know...

40188 A very successful bullet designed by Douglas Sorenson for the .38-40 (PB, 170 - TP is 88)
401452 Designed by Boser for the .38-40. (PB, 196 - TP is 452)
40395. These are good light weight, grooved, short range, .40 caliber bullets. They require special chamber to seat them. Another good .40 caliber short range bullet is No. 40043. (PB, 145, 195 - TP is 95)

I got a 40188 in today, but want to add 40090, 401654 & 406342. I have an extra cylinder for one of my Powermags in .38-40 and a Uberti clone in .38-40.
