    If your bullet is large enough to fill the grooves, as it should be in the first place, the bevel base will be fine. Undersize bullet that are expected to expand to bore size due to setback are an anachronism dating back to muzzleloaders when all bullets had to be undersized. Start them off full sized in the first place.

    One short comment I made above a few posts, I'm thinking not, but is it ok to shoot psb assisted loads in a revolver? Because of the cylinder gap not liking the plastic beads? It would only happen if I carry both Colt and Winchester together and an all out deer attack tries to take me over. Otherwise I think I'll have loads with Unique loaded with the Colt.
    My 1st Generation Colt is pre 1898 and only good for black. I think your idea of Unique is good for the handgun. Again, I think everyone should be concerned with pressures/velocities when they handload. Revolvers aren't as strong as rifles.
