    It's a custom cut mold from Accurate Molds. You can specify diameter with your choice of alloy in mind when you order. If you want to look at the drawing click the link.

    It's basically a Lee 325 grain WFN with a longer nose. It's OAL is 1.650" and you can find load data for that length/weight combo.
    Oh great, another thread that makes me spend money.

    But to size in throats can be worse then under throat size. Groove runs a gun.

    I've been eyeing that one myself. Let us know how you like the balance and handling.

    Handling and balance are great, accuracy on par with my previous 6.5" model.

    WOW, a 4 5/8" .480 is hard to imagine. I have a 6.5" .480 and its enoigh for me to handle.
    I have the typical grip panel fitment and front sight issues with the first ones produced but shes accurate, so I let her slide.
    If mine was a 4 5/8" model, Im afraid Id surely be only shooting powder puff Trail Boss loads.

    I've been using 325 grain Hornady factory ammo and a couple of hand loads, 9.3 grains of unique and 13-14 grains of HS6 and Montana bullet works bullets. Recoil is in my opinion lighter than the 6.5" gun using the same loads. I'm guessing due to slightly reduced velocity and the the length of time the bullet spends in the barrel. I've got a MIHEC 385-400 grain bullet mould that I need to start using.

ID:	202803My two Rugers in 480. I love shooting cast 420 gr LBT or 400 gr Lee and RCBS boolits behind a healthy dose of Lil Gun! The Super Redhawk is by far the ugliest revolver out there but she is a great shooter! Of course the Bisley is too!
