Well I hope you guys that are short remember this feeling of being with out! This current shortage will pass at some point, when that happens and everything is back in stock, it is time to stock up!...
I will confirm it is too long for the N frames using 357 mag brass. I just use 2400 and 38 special brass. Works like a champ.

Yes! Just paid Miha for the Aluminum 45 RCBS mold plus one of his brass 4 cavity H&G # 68 SWC's! Good day to be a 45 ACP!
Some day he will re-run his aluminum version of the H&G again.

Thanks guys, besides the rifle, this isotope alloy is working very well in my magnum revolvers, and I mix 50% soft range lead in for my low speed revolver rounds. I will give the softer mix a try and...
