All handgun molds are out of stock too.
Lymans' attitude over the last 10yrs really stinks. I think they're closing out the regular reloading business and going for the big progressive machines...
I won a Cimarron Thunderer about 25yrs ago at EOT. 3 1/2" bbl, but it had a "humped" grip.

I've used the Lyman data for a max load with the #454190 and 9.0grs of Unique.
Same charge works well with #452664 & Lee #452-255-RF.
