Sharp arms bullets ,will this work good in a win 1895? per lengh ,nose shape . and being plain base (no gas checks) how much leading can i expect with smokeless powder and and wheel weight lead at about 1800 to 2000fps?
Re: cast bullets for 405 win
Hi and welcome. There has been much posting on this topic. I have owned several of the Miroku model 95 .405 rifles. They all shot extremely well with Mt. Baldy's .416 350gr FNGC bullet sized .413. This is an RCBS .416 mould. Frank will size them to your liking. 1886.

Those RCBS CSA bullet will shoot fair unsized , but they come out just between .411 and .412. The rcbs .416 bullet sized down to .413 works pretty well.
I shoot the Lyman 412263 bullet cast from #2 alloy. I also have a lyman snover mold that throws .411+ diameter bullets, that works fair and would likely do better if they were .412-.413
Buffalo Arms has a .413 300 gr gc bullet mold that is working very well for a friend of mine, he's claiming 2 inch groups at 200 yds. He sent me some but I haven't had time to try them yet.
5744 is a great powder for all the above bullets .
Forgot to add that you can get the RCBS CSA bullet unlubed and unsized, as well as the lyman bullets from www.montanabulletworks.com. Sometimes its better to try bullets than buy a mold that the rifle doesn't like.
