Still questing for my 10mm Kieth. Found some hope.

.411 (I think) re-sized to .401

I know it's long, but I'm thinking I can taper crimp on the flat above the roll crimp groove, or even in front of it. I've done that before with really long heavy cast for the 45-70 that everyone also tried to say wouldn't work. 560gr Lyman bore rider that cycles and ejects loaded, and does 1450fps from a guide gun, don't know what else you would ever need.

Anyway, I'm committed to this quest and positive it will work, and that I can get 1200fps from a 6" barrel.

I missed this before in all the thread mucking up.

How far are you shooting them? I may have been mistaken in the distance John said they destabilize, but I know he said they do. Remember, John shoots pistols at rifle distances. :D
