I've been considering both of the bullets for use in my Henry but am unsure if the SWC would feed reliably. Anybody used both? Same weight but obviously differing nose profiles. Maybe I just ought to post up to buy some of the SWC and try them before sinking money into a mould but thought I'd ask here.

TIA

I don't own a Henry, but I do have a Puma in 454 Casull. In my rifle, overall length is more important than nose profile, and with a SWC like 454424 you're limited on seating depth variation by the crimp groove.

What "454 RF" are you thinking of using?......there are dozens available.

Both of these are NOE 255 gr options. Main uses would be target and boar hunting inside 50-75 yards in the 45 Colt. I know the RNFP style will feed in my rifle but was looking for options.
