    Thanks. That's a good recommendation. Lee .452-255-SWC. This was a last ditch for that mold as it throws a .452 bullet which will not shoot accurately from my Ruger.

    Thanks fellows.

    Have any of you slugged the bore of your .54 T/C? By removing the breech plug or by some other method?

    Not having that option available to me, I went with 8x57!
