So as grizzly expand into our area Woods Workers are thinking more and more about the 9mm's and .22's and .22 mags and such they are carrying. I've killed truckloads of butcher stock with service pistol loads but only one bear ( a small one) of the many I've shot, with a revolver. It was an interesting situation.
We have 2 .44 Mags (Ruger redhawk, S&W 29-9 Heritage), a .45 Colt (Ruger Blackhawk) and a .45 ACP (SIG 320 FS). The .44's & .45 Colt are taken care of but the SIG 320 is not quite yet. So since the Lee cast boolit mold throws a lousy bullet for the Ruger I decided to try to see if it would hand cycle in the SIG. I made up 4 dummies and yes it does.
They did not drop clean in the barrel drop test but after I hand cycled the rounds thru the action they fed well. On my Dillon "Semi-Progressive" loader setup I have a Lee H2 die so I think this will solve that issue. Now on to powder choice and to see if this bullet will feed thru the SIG at 850 fps (goal).
