I like the idea of a variable weight boolit  for paper patch for my .458 Win, Mag and 45/70. But I am trying to learn to paper patch and want to use my .375 H&H more to the point it is going to Africa as a very trusted old friend . Put it to work as a deer rifle to make it feel right.  A paper patch mold for this would work for.375 H&H, 38/55, .375 Win. and .375 Ruger I am thinking from 200 or 225gr up to 300 Gr.

I’m also hoping to see the adjustable paper-patch option offered for more diameters, and 375s are a good start. I had hoped the APP for .460s would encourage off-shoots.
The only complication in this size is that from modern .375s to older 38-55s there are several groove-bore variations. Al offers several other moulds with .002 size differences, so hopefully with enough interest we can get something going.
I’m interested.

Yep, depending on how the 45 caliber one works out I’d likely be in for a 375 one also. .367″ would work in modern smokeless 375 barrels, as well as old 38-55 barrels if you loaded with black powder. If someone wanted to use smokeless in a 38-55 they would indeed need a bigger diameter. I have several 9.3mm moulds I use for this now but a dedicated adjustable one would be pretty nice.

I have a 375 H&H in my future, and a PP cast bullet would make practice more affordable.
