    Smith 25-5 45 long colt

    I am the proud new owner of a S&W 25-5 8 3/8 barrel excellent shape. Can't wait to shoot it is in the presentation box shot very little. Ran some pin gauges in the cylinder throats they are .4565. I want to shoot a truncated cone or a semi wad cutter about 260-270 gr any body know what mold is dropping the big of bullet.

    You could look at .457" rifle moulds. I dont think any are that light though. I'm pretty sure you can find a 300gr. Crimp groove might not work though.
