    Never could get good accuracy with Ruger Blackhawk revolver in 30 Carbine even at 10 yards. Maybe 4" groups? But the M1 30 carbine rifle is a tack driver at 50 yards (rail and pistol scope added).

    Using the larger Lee expander for 45-70 from Wolf (?). The Lee PTE for the 458 socom uses the 45-70 part number, so Wolf perfect fit and .001 larger than stock.
