You might check Ranger Point Precision.
Edit: They only have rails for the levers.

I tried using wheelweights for Lyman 358439. Out of a 4" revolver at 1100 fps they gave no expansion in water jugs. From a rifle at 1550 fps they shattered. In my opinion skip the antimony and be...
Got one last week and after two range sessions I'm convinced it's worth every nickel. I haven't set up the phone app yet and not sure if I ever will.
I sure don't miss the set up, skyscreens,...

I discriminate on the basis of gender and just shoot the female cowbirds.

I bought an 8 pounder of HP38 in case I ever run out of 231.

As a young boy I got a subscription to Outdoor Life and Jack O'conners articles were the first thing I'd turn to.

I wonder how many million pounds of lead are laying on the bottom of the Great Lakes where many cities are getting their drinking water?

I've got one Vortex Diamondback and it was purchased recently. It's a 1.75-5 and the box and scope are both marked "Made in Phillipines". That's the only reason for buying it. Glass is...

I bought a nice 5" Model 29 classic from an elderly gent who wasn't able to shoot anymore. It turned out that he had always used .44 Special in this gun and it wouldn't even chamber a magnum...

I resent the totalitarians making a rule like that but I really like my Henry single shots and could live with it. Makes you wonder what's next? Are they going to tell you how many spare rounds you...
Forum: Cast Boolits
For plinkers like the 125 gr. and 158 gr. Lee's I use the RCBS bottom pour. For bigger boolits the majority of my casting is with the ladle and either of two Waage pots. I always seem to get the best...

That's true of the brass and octagon barrel guns but steel .44 will be right in the 7 lb. neighborhood.

Along with the others, I too appreciate you clearing the air Larry! I never bought into the .41 mag Blue Dot warnings and continue to use it.

My 2 cavity and six cavity 255 RF's both have .350" meplat as close as I can measure. The 300 gr. Lee has a .390" meplat. Imagine that would hit like a truck!

CastingFool. Congrats on the deer! I recently purchased the same rifle and after one range trip it looks like it's going to be a good shooter with that 255 Lee over 8.8 of Unique. My thinking was to...

Lynn. I sure like mine. I'll be sitting in a treestand this year with a blued .44 mag singleshot with a 2 1/2X Leupold. I cast up a batch of the 640 HP's at 10 BHN, weighing about 260 grains, powder...
Forum: Leverguns
I was afraid of that. The Lyman 424 is shorter and come to think of it I've got a 423 which is shorter yet but it throws undersize so it would need powder coated. BUT....There's also a Lee 255 RF in...

I've been having a blued Henry carbine in .45 Colt calling out to me lately. My Henry .357 blued lever carbine is accurate and a lot of fun to shoot. The two bullets used the most in the .357 are the...
I used 12 grains of Unique in .475 Linebaugh brass under a 325 grain Lee GC bullet for this 285 lb. bear. Velocity in BFR was right at 1200 fps. While I can't help with a .480 load with your bullet I...

In regards to the shooting sling the thought comes to mind......Why didn't I think of that??
Forum: Leverguns
I can't answer your question specifically for the .45 Colt but my .357's in single shot and lever do real well with cast bullets. The .44 mag single is a little more picky on loads it likes. If a...
