And don't forget the annealing to make the neck a version of something at about the right hardness. I wonder if Nosler, Speer, John Lee or someone like that would have a take on how this might work? Or do you not want to say anything to them?

Your 6.5 swede brass may be a better choice. The case mouth
spec for the acp and win mag is .473 and the 06 and 308 are .470 at thier widest pointthe swede should measure .480 at its widest point
Sierra makes a 300 gr. Sportsmaster soft flat point in .451 and a 240 gr. hollow cavity Sportsmaster, Nosler makes a 250 gr. Sporting bullet, Barnes makes a 325 gr. flat nose flat base with heavy jacket AND if you want a HEAVY bullet there is this mould: Lyman 1-Cavity Bullet Mold #451114 45 Caliber (451 Diameter) 450 Grain Volunteer!
Good thinking Dan. I knew you would come up with a good idea. I will do some measuring and thinking and comparing.
Kirbydoc, ask whoever you want. The more input the better. Maybe something good will come of it. I don't want heavy bullets and the heavy recoil that goes with them. Or jacketed ones either. A nice light 230 cast will do the trick.
