      I’m working on a wildcat and can’t find a bullet weight I want, can a bullet style be given more length to add like 40 grains to a bullet mold that is already being made?

        I’m not sure I stated this so people will understand,can you add another grease groove to add like 40 grains to a bullet and it still shoot ok?

          I ordered way back couple molds which I ask could mold maker cut gas checks off and that makes those bullets only something like 10-15 grains lighter.. So adding one grease groove probably won’t rise weight up 40 grains.. Just quessing..

            I think the OP meant adding the LENGTH of one more grease groove…. That would work, but I think it would require new, longer tooling to cut the mould…. A faster twist rate could be required for bullet stability….

                Thanks teemu for your info, think I’m going to have to scale this one out and send it to Sweede.
