    I also use the Lee 440s over RL7 to get about 1550 FOS. My rifle feeds them without any trouble and will do 1.5 to 2” at 100 for 5 shots.

    If I was carrying a .32 magnum that day I would have no problem shooting a 150# hog with it. A 120gr FN at 1200+ will penetrate fairly well. It isn't the idea cartridge for hunting them, but will...

    I use RL7 with the Lee bullet in my Beowulf. I don't have my notes handy but I am using 42.0 or 43.0 gr for 1550 out of my 16" barrel. Accuracy runs sub 2" for 5 shots at 100 yards.

    Yes I have used Lee pistol dies with no Problem in my Big Boss II and Redding T7. No special steps. They have at least 2-3 turns on the lock ring before you run out of room

    Yeah it is one of the few newer lyman molds I have tried that drops over the listed size. I had one .45 ACP mold that dropped them .444" x .448" they told me it was the alloy.
