There must have been a recent run. Mine arrived on Saturday as well. Glad to finally get it.
They are a st of Hogue grip panels, I wouldn't say they fit well but you have room to manicure them to look better.

I finally got around casting, sizing, and loading some NOE 480-375 FN boolits for my .480 Bisley and some H110. HOLY COW, WHAT A HANDFUL! I may have to stick with some lighter load for this canon.
BUT it did shoot well!
"In GOD We Trust"
Probably cant with H110 but get velocity down around 1000fps and see the difference. That load has passed clean through Moose and Bison. HS6 is a good powder choice
Oh I know I cant go much lighter with H110. I do have some HS-6 on hand and some Longshot. Im currently looking for some HS-6 load data. Can you provide some too?

Markbo, did the .41 LFN boolits i sent you work?
"In GOD We Trust"
Well i tried a few loads with Longshot and HS-6 and they were more comfortable than H110. But everything hits 3"-4" high WITH the rear sight pushed all the way down. I guess its time to give Ruger a call. Plus the front sight blade is not centered in the base which partially explains why it shoot to the left.
Anyone else find the front sight to be an issue also?
"In GOD We Trust"
Oh, haha,I did try some Trail Boss and had a one hole group of five shots. To be such a low pressure load that powder has always amazed me and how it groups/shoots so well!

Not in the FA, but just fine in the Rugers. I really like the look of those and may get a mold just for the Rugers.
I can do better than that. Go here and read all you need to know:

Also on the sight, there are two options. Contact sixshot here-he is making & selling replacement front sights. Or remove the rear sight and file/sand it down some. There is some "extra" there you can remove as well.
Well sorry they didnt work in your FA.
Hahaha, i had run across that chart just a couple hours ago. But thanks for providing the info. I plan to bump up the HS-6 and try them again.
Ill get a hold of Sixshot about the front sight.
I actually used to belong to the Singleaction forum.

Lefty do you happen to know if NOE makes HP molds too? That bullet just looks like it should be a good shooter and 2 solids/2 HP might open up some options sometimes.
Not sure if builds HP and solids in the same mold but heres a 4C HP of the boolits i sent you.

13.5 grains of HS6 works really well in mine.
Prior to sending mine back to Ruger, I was loading 400gr cast bullets over 13.5-14.0 grains of HS6, while not exactly pussycat loads, they were still very manageable. I really like HS6 and use a lot of it in my 454 Casull.
