Many thanks to all who offerd help.

For clarification:

Primarily for a Mod 629 w/ 6" bbl. Also shoot a Ruger Vaquero chambered in .44 mag., which is why I'm not looking for particularly hot...

Been looking around for load data to put behind a 225g LSW with a copper GC. Bin on the PB as best I can tell with the LEE tester is around 16 - 17.

Any suggestions?

Not looking to break any...

The .452 230g JRN fall straight through the cylinders.

The .44 cowboy action mould I have drops .451. From the warnings some of you guys have offered, I think it's much safer using my own cast...

Still haven't actually slugged, but the manual online specs the barrel dia. @ .454.

Thanks to all. I was concerned that the jacketed bullets could indeed give a problem.

The loads I plan to keep very light, but if that barrel slugs to .450 and the jacketed bullets are a true...

Thanks Russ.

Like I said, IO haven't slugged either the barrel or the throats, but I do cast the .430 RN for shooting black powder.

What I've noticed is that when I set the boolit into the...

Gentlemen,

I acquired a .44 Pietta 1858 New Army a while back that cane with a conversion cylinder. Though I'd give it a try and found out that Cowboy rounds are approx. 35.00 a box. Right.

Thanks for the tip Lloyd. I ordered a couple of these FCDs yesterday from Midway, and they'll be on my bench on Friday, I'll let everyone know how they turn out.

Thanks to everyone.

I think I just answered my own question. The carbide auto-pistol version has a resizing feature as the bullet is withdrawn from the die.

Cool...

So if I understand you... seat the bullet short of the cannelure (a place before the bulge occurs) and crimp w/ FCD. Then as long as the COL doesn't prohibit loading into the magazine... I'd be good?...

Both the 250g Hornady as well as the 230 RN ar both listed as .452 on the boxes. The 230 does however as I mentioned measure slightly under on average. They are both jacketed, but natural the 250g is...

Thanks fellas, sorry I didn't get back until now. The wife had commandeered my computer for taxes this weekend.

Thanks for all of your comments, I did a little more experimentation over the...

Hey folks... I hope this is the right place to post this question, if not please direct me to the proper location.

A friend gave me 300 rounds of Hornady HP/XTP 250g .452 jacketed bullets. I found...

I hear what you are saying... and you are absolutely right.

The mistake that I made here was over-reliance on the old "principle of uniformity". I have been a Midway customer for a few years, and...

Nail on the head.

Well it will eventually... but in the meantime an update.

Tracking info indicates that UPS has handed off the package to the good old USPS.

Expected delivery date: tomorrow, a full 11 days...

There it is... I was beginning to wonder when the middle school let out.

It is so gratifying to learn that this forum is a place where one can gather with other 2nd ammendment advocates and...

Wow indeed...

The climate change crisis is a fabrication dreamed up by those who wish to "fundamentally change the United States of America".

It begins with an idea to use pour scientific analysis to alarm the...

I can't hold this on Midway I suppose... with the exception that they do have a decision in exactly who they use for their primary shipping contractor. Probably rate based.

My 2 oz. package it...

So how long is your ignore list actually?

Truth

Shut up? There's an original.

The price in not the issue... catch up.

Truth

Take a look back at the thread... it's not "your truth and our truth", rather some this way, some that.

Truth is not relative, all truth is absolute, else it would not be defined as "truth". There...

I wholly agree.

Discussion forums simply afford an opportunity to voice an opinion, from there, the membership decides if what follows is civil discourse, or ad hominem.

Can hardly wait for...

Actually the email notification reads "Expected delivery date"... that's what I've been working from, the “actual” transaction info.

Would I like to open my mailbox tomorrow and find a little...
