    That .4335" groove diameter is within spec. SAAMI specs a larger groove diameter for .44 mag rifle vs. .44 mag pistol.

    For bullet options, I've had good luck with an old Lee group buy mold. It drops at .434" and I size them to .433". Strangely, I still have good accuracy in my pre-safety .44 mag Rossi with .431" commercial cast. My own .430" sized bullets aren't quite as accurate, but still pretty good considering my barrel slugs .432" if I remember right.

    I shot it again today, the front sight has to be too far to the right to work with the peep in safety hole. I am looking for a real receiver sight to drill and tap to the side. Will by or trade my sight for the hole and cash.

    Buffalo Arms is the only place I could find a .433 sizing die.

    Ive got a Williams FP sight on my .357 Rossi 92, and I will definitely be getting my .44 mag Rossi drilled and tapped for one too.

    I installed a Williams Foolproof and solved my sight in problems. Shoots ok with jacketed 240 Bullets, I found some big cast bullets, will shoot them unsized and see what happens. Thanks all for you help.
