Delete: Bullets for Maynard 40-70

[Willy Tincup]

Does anyone know where I can buy some .418-.422 bullets for my 40-70 Maynard? I'm using some 41 Magnum .410's and they are pretty loose/
Anyone make them? or have a mould? or have some kickin around?
Thanks for any leeeads......wTc

A friend of mine in Regina makes custom moulds for not too horrible of a price. Contact me if you are interested and I can give you the contact.

Willy you could just about paper patch them slugs to make them fit.

Well; I never thought of paper patching them. They are pretty short and pretty light at 210 grs. But then again I probably only shoot a couple of dozen in a year........its more a matter of getting the ole gal out for an afternoon and hearing her go bang.
Besides, I have no experience with paper patching. Any quick tips on the process?
Thanks.....wTc

Would a 416 cal bullet work or are they to heavy? Wrap a few times with teflon tape to get your diameter.

.416 might just work if I could find some!
