I am a big fan of wadcutters, but I like mine heavier. Sorry, no help to you!

The serial number was stamped on various parts during the soft fitting stage. S&W did away with that process in the late 50s, roughly 1957. I would not expect a revolver from the 80s to have the...
My apologies, I misread your post and did not follow the link. I now see the link took me to a 45 caliber wadcutter. Interesting looking boolit.
I may try to find some for sale before ordering a...

That is good information on refining.

Your arbor is poorly attached. You can not blame the design if the builder did not follow the specifications.
If it were mine, I would rebuild it into a first class revolver. Want to sell it?

If you really want a lightweight boolit, consider the Lyman 457130. The collar button bullet, about 150 grains. Not much heavier than a round ball. Not sure if Lyman still offers it. There was...
Correct. But, I am only interested in wadcutters, or very blunt noses, for the 45 calibers, preferably, ACP.

BobT,
Have you considered using blackpowder? The Army kept getting complaint about how hard the rifle load recoiled in the carbine so they eventually reduced the powder charge to 55 grains and...
No experience with Remington 6 1/2 but my 22 Hornet and my 22 WCF both prefer small pistol primers.

I competed in PPC. The standard load was the 148/150 grain wadcutter over 2.7-.28 grains of Bullseye. The reason it was the standard load? It shot great and had minimal recoil.
If you want a...

Also, a lot heavier if using that .730 liner!

Catshooter ran a gb on a .314, 100 grain Keith SWC. One of those molds might be found.

I will give it a good trial but I really prefer the wadcutter boolits.

I believe it is called bronze. This is the first one I have had in the flesh. I had seen images but never the real thing. I am not sure what revolver this will end up gracing.
Kevin
I have thought about the 200/210 SWC but have not tried them.
As much as I like to experiment, I have nearly two dozen ACP revolvers, I want 1 or 2 loads that work in all. I may buy 500 boolits to...
I was just given a new grip adapter that I have fit to this revolver. I am not sure about it.

Your thoughts?

I just reread your post. You are getting better accuracy with the shorter bearing surface of the lighter boolit? That sounds contrary to logic but, empirical evidence trump intuitive logic. Any...

On the left is the SAECO 453, middle is a 250 RNFP and far right is a 250 WC. This summer I hope to get a chance to test the middle and right boolits. Can they unseat the 453 or 452423? ...
I have not measured all of my ACP revolvers. I might get to it some day. The GB 453423 and the SAECO 453 both have a long bearing surface which I prefer in the S&W ACP rifling. I don’t cast them...
I grabbed some .452” and some .454” boolits. The 454 caught in the throats of both Model 1950 Target revolvers (also in a Model 1950 Army, but that is for a different thread.) I thought they would. ...
At this time, Curt has a two year wait and is not accepting new orders until he is caught up. Not sure what will happen then. He is keeping those cards close to his vest.

For a variety of reasons, this is fast becoming a favorite of mine. Yesterday, I swapped stocks around and came up with this combination.

Thank you. Blest?, indeed. My wife found that revolver on a forum of which I am a member and asked if I knew about it. When I told her the seller had contacted me before listing it, and I passed...

I am not aware of a match that allows you to clean the rifle on the firing line? Cleaning is done off line. A wiping rod is permitted in some BP matches, but that is different from cleaning, isn’t...

For some reason I thought the rifles in question were the Springfield Single Shot Rifle and a rolling block. I might be in a different thread.
