Took your suggestions about matching boolit size to the cylinder throat. Pulled out my 429421 4 cav. I bought about 1974. Using #2 alloy it cast right at .433 and that is what I sized them to w/lbt soft.
Upper target is the 429421 boolits. Left group, I flinched a couple out of the group, but right target I tried alot harder. Group is 6 shots. 50Ft.
Lower target (both groups) is the 295gr Denver boolit that looks just like a 429421, but with a lot longer base band, but only comes out at .430"

After a trigger job, groups should shrink a bit more. Pretty heavy and rough now.
Of course, my 55+ eyes don't help with group size.
