Or like there of, I went to the range yesterday with my 357 Blackhawk and it did great except for a tad of leading , not bad. So I cast some boolits for it and the Lyman 170 SWC drops at .3595 I took a fired case and they fit with a slight bell. So I made up some dummies cases from the undersized cases and seated and crimped the cases as I would the ones I would shoot. They fit with out any sizing at all on the cases or the boolits, so I will just pan lube and see how they shoot when it stops snowing and being 0*.

Good morning
First measurement for me with any revolver is those pesky throats. How does that unsized boolit fit through the throats and are all 6 the same size ? Being a RBH (I have numerous in 41 mag) I would not be surprized that they are
#1 undersized for the barrel
#2 irregular in size
#3 sort of rough looking
But other than that they will shoot a long time and seldom fail to go bang.

All fit the throats as all are the same size, right at the end you have to gently press it in but not much. I will see how they shoot when the snow stops.
