    I urge you to try Dick Dastardly's BigLube bullets. You can buy them or cast them yourself. They have a HUGE lube groove that eliminates the problem with the Lee bullet. I've had great luck with mine and shoot almost nothing else. I use no wad or lube over the bullet and I shoot soft lead. I can shoot endless strings without any leading at all. I shoot very hot loads of 45gr of Triple Seven in a deepened ROA cylinder as well as a Classicballistx cylinder (which is better than Rugers!)

    I did not. With the accuracy of the RB's, I just couldn't spend the money. Also there are some other pre-existing molds already out there had I decided to fuss with the conical bullets. I spent that money getting set up to cut my own felt wads for the 36's and 45's. The molds on Dick Dastardly site look promising if one was to keep at the conicals in the ROA.

    My ROA is a 2008 stainless model and measures right at .451 on all cylinders.
