I'm interested in heavy (220 grns +) commercially available bullets/conicals that will load easily and straight using the loading ram on the gun. Are there any recommendations?
Ruger recommends a .454" bullet. My cylinders measure out ~.451". I've read of people using .452" 45 Colt/ACP bullets. Is that enough to hold the bullet in place?
I've read of people using Remington's 250 grn LRN, though nobody seemed to like the lube they use. It seems as though it would be hard to load straight as I don't believe it has reduced diameter driving bands.
Anybody use the .454" lead bullets from Hornady, Magtech, or Goex?
And there is Kaedo's 240 grn bullet. Anybody use it?
Once I do get involved in casting what molds are recommended?
I see that Lee's molds are nearly a 1/3 of the cost of others. Is there any reason to invest that much more?
