You can load them right up to 357mag specs..discounting heavy for load weighted projectiles. I love my 3" ruger Sp101 in 327. Can shoot 327 32 mag..32 long/short and usually acp depending on the...

No such thing as too big. I shoot full wadcutters seated slightly out f the case for 38SW in my old Brit revolvers..looks great..paper target thinks they are great too. I imagine a bad guy would...

How will muzzle loaders handle this? Tin seems too hard?? Bismuth?

Hinge pun screw I guess is what it's called. Any wag what thread it could be?

I am looking for what is called a cam lever..external part.. held on with a screw and locates on a pin. I can find the lever...

I use coww for buckshot. Seems to do great. Slugs I tend to cast soft.

I think you'd be fine with it.. And for s&g's I'd see if a .359 projectile in a dummy case will drop in and fall out of the cylinder. It's likely the restriction of the cyl mouth is at the very end...

The images above in post 1 are of hollow point?? It's a small opening.. but AFAIK..it counts as HP not fmj.
yup..good for glocked brass..or other unsupported chamber guns.. A lee FCD with a sizer ring usually works too

yup..drips and powder sacks.. I use them on cattle strung across a narrow gate they have to pass thru to eat.. good for swine too.

The cast lead simply swage down passing the throat to the forcing cone.

reminds me of an arbor press. Wonder if it was a grommeting press..?
I use a case gauge just as a go / no go quick check on like 1 in 20 rounds. Your guns chamber is the real test..though if it passes a case gauge..it should fit ANY gun. I doubt the oversized...

Bottom line.. If the bullet is still being seated after the case encounters the roll crimp shoulder..or the taper restriction on a taper crimp...it will shave. Ideally..the bullet stops moving right...

Seeing many discussions on this form I'm sure it is highly confusing to new Reloaders to hear a lot of seasoned Reloaders say not to crimp something just to close the mouth flare when in fact for...
Forum: Cast Boolits
Try flairing the case mouth more so it doesn't shave..then taper crimp..see if it chamber correctly then. If you gave a Lee FCD even better..it has a carbide ring that should iron out any bulges.
