I just received my new to me Magma 45-285-FP-FB I cast 200 bullets with wheel weight lead and powdercoated them.
They passed the smash test with flying colors.
I also have a Star Lube Sizer with a .452" sizing die.
I am sizing the powder coated bullets
I would like to shoot them out of my S&W X-frame.
I have 454 Casull, and 460 S&W brass.
The overall length of the bullet is 0.730".
The cartridge OAL is 1.679"
I am assuming that the bullet must be crimped like my 454 Casull dummy round.
Up to now I've only loaded 115gr RN 9mm and 230gr RN 45.ACP in lead bullets.
I'm used to loading jacketed ammo.
Thanks for any advice.
