      I am currently casting a .468 and paper patching with BP Loads for this rifle, but would prefer a bullet at .472-450g with grease grooves, I do not have any drawings
      but could post a pic of what I am using now, does this appeal to anyone.
      I think an overall length of 1.3in with 3 grease grooves.

        The old NDFS design works well and could be a basis for an NOE Martini design.

        I have a few different versions of this bullet but would be interested in an NOE mould.

        I’d like it to drop at 0.471″ with 1-20 tin to lead and have the option of a cupped base.

              Count me in for a 5-cav if this gets manufactured.  I’d love one.

                We are nigh on 1/3rd of the way there now.

                Jim might be worth posting links to this thread on the British Militaria and the Single Shot association forums where there be lurking Martini shooters.

                    Can work with the diameter if needs be.

                      Any chance of a cupped base AL?

                        Can do – would be a small flat on the nose
                        Would be a RG2 in a 3 cavity Block – Aluminum only

                          Looks good, a shallower more curved cup would suit me but will go with the above if that is what we can do.

                              I need to re-measure my MH and see if this would be appropriate for my rifle.  I might be interested if it would suit my rifle.

                                Its a slow mover, but might be worth starting a ‘buy’

                                    If this gets to the group buy stage I think i can get a few more people from Canadian Gunnutz Forum to hop on board. I won’t post it there until it gets to the GB stage though, had some bad experiences with that in the past. Lots of Martini Henry fans in Canada that don’t visit the bullet casting forums much.
