He mentioned it often in his writings . It will make a difference in the pressure using his 7.5gr load of Unique . The Keith bullet has a shorter shank allowing a little more case volume vs the std. 240 gr swc .

He used the 429244 first and went to the 429421 as he did not feel he needed the gas check and the Keith bullet was just as accurate as the Thompson bullet .
