This is my go to boolit for the 9mm, it falls from the mold
at 131gr, it works great in every 9mm I own, it falls at
.361 so I can fit it to any 9mm or 357.

I value my LBT molds so much that I lock them away in my safe,
sure hope Veral is in good health for at least 75 more years.
Many people can become a great shooter very fast if they get started right.
The first thing is get the proper training before you learn bad habits.
I shot on a pistol team in the army forty...

My best 187gr fngc will not fit in a m27, too long, it shoots 1500fps in my three gp 100s.
Three inch groups at 100yds are doable and under six inches at 200yds are doable in
the 6.5'' BH.

One of my best loads in the 454 is 8gr bullseye with a 250 rnfp,
goes 1025 in a 7.5'' revolver and 1250fps in the 20''.

I have a 16'' and a 20'' SS in 454 and 4 revolvers to go
with them, the ones in 454 are tougher , I would not buy
one in 45 colt.
I own five guns that shoot 10mm, longest is 6.6'', none of them will beat a good 357 in
fps with a 180gr boolit. you have to compare the best loads in both to make it fair.
I also own nineteen...
I like revolvers for most things too, but, with my Glock g20s I shoot 10mm, 40s&w, 357sig and 9mm,
all from the 10mm magazine. You can get a 38super barrel for it too.

44man, your .454 may not be a good deer killer with hard fast boolits but mine is
great with them.
There still can be something bumping and you are not noticing
it and taking power away from the hammer fall.
I have seen this in Redhawks including my own.
if you can get the prints of the RH and find what the
distance is between the trigger pin and the hammer
pin you can drill that in a block of steel and put pins
in block and trigger and hammer on...
I discovered Veral Smith in 1987 in gunsmith school, get this book

Something else that can make things worse is use a 110gr boolit and
seat it out of the case farther rather than the heavier wc, heavy boolits
usually help ignition. talking about the 38sp
