Not bad, for a three shooter. I have similar results with two of his molds, .453 & .455

We can only hope he continues to build more molds for us.

Are we talking 45 ACP? "Primer: Wolf small pistol"
Nice S&W.

You caught my mistake. Yes 45 ACP, I will edit it.

Heck, I just thought you had some Starline with the small primer pocket. You never know. It looks like your wheel gun likes this boolit, did you size it or shoot it as cast and lubed?

Just curious what your as cast diameter is, I haven't seen much feed back yet on the molds other than minor adjustments. Mine drop as advertised.

Enjoy.

My mold drops at .453 with WW. I did size at .452
