Have not shot cast in my contender but H322 has performed very well for me.
My Ruger Bisley has .455 throats. I size to that. Until I started using a 50/50 + 2% alloy accuracy was not very good. 454424 or the new NOE Keith slugs shoot very accurate in this gun. Also have had...
I'll second the comment on brass made by GRUMPA. Good stuff!

I have no problems using my Lyman lubsizers. But then I am using dies from Buckshot and they are smooth as glass. I did order some push thru's from NOE but some are giving me a few problems. May have...
Those hollow point molds need to be run a little hotter. You need to preheat them well on a hot plate before casting. I also run my alloy temp a little higher. I'm ladle casting so I try to keep it...
Initial shooting with the 45 mold is proving to be very good indeed. Need to do more shooting with it and to stretch the distance out some but first impression is it's better than any other Keith...

I have both the large and small hp molds. I have tested the small hp by shooting into a 55 gallon drum full of water from an elevated stand. Cast from 50/50 they expanded very well. Very accurate...
20.0 grains of 4227 give me an average of 1077 fps out of my 7.5" Ruger Bisley. They are powder coated.

While not a 454 my 45 Colt cylinders measure .455. I size at .455 and have no problems. How are you measuring the throats on your gun?

I have the Mihec 477-640 and the NOE 480-375-RF. Both drop at 388 grains with my alloy. I need to further test the 477-640 but the 480-375-RF shoots really well in my Bisley. 480-375-RF is pb while...
When it comes to expander plugs Buckshot from this forum makes mine plus I have started using some from NOE. In my opinion the best way to go.
Leading will continue in my experience as long as the thread choke is present. Having said that I have a few Rugers that have some choke but it is not bad at all and really doesn't cause problems. If...
Officially a member of the NOE $1000 club! Working on the next grand.
I shoot the NOE version of the 270 SAA in my 45 Bisley. I also cast and use the Accurate 45-310B mentioned in bigboredad's post. At the time it was he who mentioned that mold to me. Mine drop at 305...
Just a question. Could this be done on a Super Redhawk somewhere down the road? Any plans? Got to say this is indeed impressive as I have watched the videos. Not only for the performance of the gun...
Thank you sixshot for pointing that out. I have a pile of those ready to go along with some 375 solids for when my Bisley ships from Lipseys. Appreciate all the effort and passing it on to others.

You can remove my request. Jiggsbermuda. I received my mold from MP today. Lucked out from the last run. Have one ordered from NOE also. Thanks!

I will take one. Thank you for helping us out! Jiggsbermuda (at) yahoo (dot) com .478

16-18BHN is way harder than you need for that application. Once you get the lead cleaned out from the cylinder throats see if you can push your wadcutter through the throats. For a good fit you...
