Browning 348 Shooters BULLET OPTION AT LAST Mono Prospect

[348win]

If we get enough guys together I got a company on the hook willing to R&D a bullet compatible w the Browning Model 71's (short throat)

Key requirements on my list:

150-160ish gr LIGHT FOR CALIBER OPTION
220gr GOLD STANDARD weight (my opinion)

Monolithic

Deep crimp groove; w no bullet setback design

Were talking a dream bullet here guys.
I'd really like to get a count on how many guys would be serious about buying these if we could prove em out, prove they are worth stocking up on.

I sure would be tickled to have a stash of 348 bullets that don't setback in my cases.

348 options these days are on the cusp of unobtanium.

Have you tested the Fury bullets (220gr) in your Browning? I've only run them in my Winchester. I don't have any loaded at the moment or I would cycle a couple through. They might have too much ogive for the Browning. Just curious.

I have NOT tested FURY

But was interested

Was turned off by conventional crimp groove.
My experience I need something better....deeper....stronger, to prevent setback

Company owner, told me try them no setback probs. I think he was willing to improve the groove as well, I can't recall details there but he seemed nice enough, willing to do business, work together.

To me they ain't no different then a Barnes Original; regarding crimp-ability

The Furys are bonded which is cool.

Are you thinking more like the groove that Swift uses on their A-frames? Not a knurled cannelure, rather a full recessed groove.

Yes simikar but I have my own geometry ideas

Use the Lee FCD and your bullets won't move. They don't move in the .450 Alaskan or Fuller using the FCD . .450Fuller highly recommends the Lee FCD's use.

I do use the LEE Factory Crimp Die

I still observe setback from time to time.
