I have also seen no accuracy difference in the .429 to .416 resize, nor the .458's to .452 in the ML's so far, at least nothing that has jumped out at me.


Thanks Al. It's reassuring to know someone thought to check into that and even better news to learn that it has no impact. Opens up some doors I'm looking at for a 200gr FTX in .429. I have some in .452. Is resizing some down to .429 an overly optimistic idea using just my Rockchucker? With a generous deployment of Imperial Wax, taking .458s down to .452 went what I would call easy. Not so sure with a bigger jump. Don't want to collapse the hollow point part.

Heck No, I did a bunch and I swear the accuracy improved.

You'll have to use many steps, but the Imperial will minimize that shore..
