    Not off hand. Others may.
    Have you considered something like the Corbin cannelure tool?
    I've used mine to put grooves in .400 XTP;s for my .38-40. Real slick and not that expensive.

    Thanks never herd of that, at $80+ thow I think I will continue to look for a source for bullets :) actualy I ordered some hard cast lead 160 grain bullets I found earlier today I want jacketed but they might work from the sounds of it doesnt sound like they give much buildup, anyhow will see.

    redice,
    You might want to try a Lee Factory Crimp die and un-grooved bullets.
    I've had great luck with them on thin necked rounds like the .44-40 and 32.20, on bullets with and w/o cannelures. They cost about $10.00

    Just checked to make sure, I do have the factory crimp die. Thats what comes in the deluxe 4 die set. Its doing so much of a crimp that it doesnt look right afterword yet I can still push the bullets in, it must just be the bullets I have.
