The biggest difference is the steel they use not really something the naked eye sees but definitely a huge deal.

The Bisley grip definitely has a different feel than the standard single action Ruger. I like the Ruger Bisley alright until recoil gets brisk at that point it really hammers my knuckle. Adding some...

This is my preferred option an MP 640 hp mold and my second choice is a swc with a good sized meplate. 321356

I do hope that it’s recoil pales in comparison to the 416, o f you have used it on game how did the bullet do?

Rbuck is that the one with the double crimp grooves? If so how is it at longer ranges and do you seat it long or short?
Forum: Leverguns
For top end it’s H110 ( Hodgdon website ) but I have used Longshot, HS6 and True Blue.

I am going to have to slightly deep seat the bullet I am wanting to use so that it will fit in the loading gate, it’s a 330 grain hp that I get about 1400 fps with out of my 7 1/2” revolver so I hope...

Bazoo no problem I had meant to add those pics here as well.
Kungfustyle the 454C comes with a pad and I have heard it was a most welcome feature.
I hope to eventually get it to the range but...

I have to say it has a couple imperfections but overall I am very happy with it. I am still awaiting the true moment of truth when I hit the range with it but it feels great in hand and is every bit...

Measure them from the crimp groove to base and the MP 640 and the 270saa are very similar.

You are in the right place, and it is mucho cheaper to cast your own and also a lot more variety. Read and ask lots of questions and it might save some money and skin.

Then why chime in, twice.
I know everyone has different opinions as to who they use as a guide, some go strictly by the book and others will follow some of the more popular writers. There also...

Hope you get some brass so you can get out and enjoy that revolver, it’s a lot of fun but it also eats a lot of lead.
I believe the Super Redhawk is one of the finest off the shelf hunting revolvers there is. It is optics ready and the trigger can be worked to a decent level and a stronger hammer spring cuts down...

Yes it is a great addition to add to your reloading toolbox. The only lubed bullets I shoot anymore are if I buy them from Zero bullets for my 45 acp. If I cast them they get powdercoated and as long...
I use the plain base and large hp powdercoated. In the 44 special I use 8 grains of Longshot , Starline brass and WW primers in a Ruger as this is a tier 2 load and the same bullet with Starline...
Tom makes great molds, I have a few of his and his selections are second to no one and if his catalog does not impress you just tell him what you want. I would also encourage you to look for an MP hp...
I have yet to try the big S&W magnums but had heard they were not too terrible on recoil but that the heft and muzzle blast was much less than pleasant. I find muzzle blast to be more unpleasant than...

It appears that John Linebaugh passed away this evening. It was reported he was working in his shop and collapsed. Praying for his family.

You are going to love his molds and they are the easiest hp mold to use. Just remember to cast hitter for hollow points.
