Given SAAMI chamber specs are often expressed in minimums on a number of dimensions, a look at a chamber drawing should be a big clue that taper crimping to .457” is not a good idea.
Since case...
If you are taper crimping to .457-.458” you are horribly overdoing it. Check your numbers.
I like a nice fat strong leading band myself to grab ahold of the rifling ASAP.
The bearing surface might be slightly shorter compared to the heavy SWC’s but the overall length of the bullet is shorter as well, at least comparing SWC versus SWC. So bearing surface as a...
The target wadcutters I like have short noses and quite long bearing surfaces for their length like the 452488 and the discontinued Lee 190 sorta slight round nosed semiwadcutter so there is some...
Dang. The Baby makes everything look huge, even the original LCP. A one and a half finger grip below the trigger guard will do that.
As I mentioned mine (625-3) are .4515” and it does shoot very well but due to the very shallow rifling skidding when striking the forcing cone is rather well developed and the heavier the bullet the...
Still curious about it because I hear stories of variance and wonder about what matters and what works despite what dimensionality is found. If you are getting good accuracy shooting through a...
Looks like one of Veral Smith’s ogival wadcutters.
Might want to get the person this is intended for to shoot it before you buy it for his use. And contrast it with other possibilities as well. What you think is suitable may not be his judgement.

Sooooo……we’re back to the question……what does this person handle and shoot well? If you don’t know find out first. Provide him with choice and let him choose, keeping in mind the goal is to do well...
Frail and unsteady makes me wonder whether a large noisy fairly hard recoiling handgun is the way to go.
Have you taken this person out shooting to see what They!!! handle well first? It beats...
The problem with all the recommended rounds is that they penetrate poorly if they expand. It would be better if the gun could handle FMJ. Since I understand it cannot, I see it as a poor choice for...
It’s not all bad with the Heritage. Mine is easy to manipulate and easier to unload and reload than the Ruger and I can do it easier in the dark. A 4 5/8 or shorter makes a better trap line gun...
I do like my Super Wrangler. In extensive chronograph testing my 5.5” noticeably, as in very noticeably, obtained much higher velocities with 22 LR and 22 mag ammo than two Heritages with 6.5”...
My Heritage works fine. Many have opined there is little difference between it and the Wranglers, but that is not true.
Problematic in the Heritage occurs when you chronograph them. I did a test...
Heck Ferg it’s 179 bucks. Will be interested in what you have to say after testing.
Last round is sometimes inertial misfeed. Does the follower have a dimple on it? Give longer OAL of 1.200-1.220” a try if possible.
What is the max the Saeco bullet can be in OAL and still chamber? Try going longer with that bullet if possible and try again. A three point is often caused by a low frame ramp strike which is OAL...
What Bigslug said.
Springs are a balance
Changing them unbalances the gun and makes it more likely to malfunction unless you change something else.
Since the gun has essentially zero slide...

Aaaaand……the 9mm guys acknowledge the 38 Special was actually a good service pistol round.
Lol.

In the 25-20 use 1 to 1.5 grains Bullseye and catch in wet phone books or newsprint. Easier and less deforming than pounding a stuck bullet with a rod. Put the muzzle near the paper to minimize yaw...
