Any feeding concerns between the bore ride diameter and the top bad diameter? I know some marlins wont feed the keiths in the 44 and 45Colt families, not sure about the 45-70's.

This is what I was referring to.
Thanks for the info
The Keith style in my 357/44's are the only types that gate well in my Rossi's. these larger ones in the 45-70 have not been a problem, however these ARE always a problem in my 357 and sometimes in the 44 levers. Hope this helps.Quote:

I believe this style does not require a new cherry he just uses a straight tool and orbits out the grooves.Quote:

Because the straight tool would also remove the gas check shank.
If this design is for a Marlin 1895, are you not going to have a crimp groove in this design?
While I will use this boolit for my 1895, i would not want to drive anyone else into a fixed position and diameter for a crimp groove. If there are additional requests for it then i could add it as an option.Quote:

Thanks Wasalmonslayer! I would gladly add a smooth-side boolit, frankly, i didnt think anyone would be coating with this large a caliber. I love being wrong [emoji16]Quote:

I got the feeling that perhaps crimping might be expected over the top band on this design. I could be wrong.Quote:

It would not change the performance for people loading for single shot rifles.Quote:

The far left is a 330gn BRP design, circa the forum around 2006 or so, BRP is long retired. It hits hard and feeds well in my 1895's.Quote:

Meatpuppet - I've added the smooth-side boolit to the lineup, only available in FB. Feel free to jump on if you are still interested.Quote:
