Well that's kind of disappointing. I just measured my 120 grain SWC's, and they are 1.545". I had been hoping to try some 140 grain bullets. I figured they would make them to at least cover all factory ammo. Surely the Buffalo Bore with 130gr SWC is longer than 1.550".
I don't have any Buffalo Bore 130gr but I've seen reviews where they shot it in Single Sevens. The longest I can get in my Single Seven is 1.50 so the Buffalo Bore has to be no longer than that.
Looking at the pictures now, it seems Buffalo Bore is using a bullet with a short nose, and presumably a lot in the case. I find it odd the single seven is so short. I have an LCR, and my SWC's at 1.545" fit with room to spare. We will see, but I'll enjoy the rifle no matter what.
