Cast boolit won't feed inside Rossi 1892 .44 loading gate?
I found a forum fellow who cast me up some heavyweight .44 magnum bullets. I planned to use them in my Rossi 1892.
They were molded with the Lee 90858 mold, and dropped at about 312 grains. They have a pretty flat nose.
I crimped a dummy round at the top of the crimping groove and tried to load the cartridge...and discovered I can't insert it into my loading gate. I get it partway and then it jams absolutely solid, unable to go any farther. I can only imagine it's due to the design of the bullet nose.
Has anyone successfully fooled around with a bullet like this and got it to load/feed reliably in a Rossi levergun, or am I probably SOL with this idea?
