Re: A TALE OF TWO BULLETS

Jim,

You're killing me here man! I can't tell how long I've looked for a 457191. I read an article by Gene Crumb (remember him?) about a thousand years ago where he used one and I've wanted to give it a try ever since.

Wanna sell it? Huh? Do you huh? :)

Re: Tell me about your .44 Special

Scott,

That is a beautiful roller.

One piece grips. Did Bowen cut Ruger's grip frame to make that work? I can't think how else he'd do it.

All cartridges short of the main gun on an Abrams can fall short from time to time. But the .45 has worked well for me.

Re: New bullet mould for the trapdoor

Well, old eyes can be a hill to climb, but I promise sending a .457 bullet down a .460 bore will be trouble. At least in my experience. Keyholes wouldn't surprise me at all. Too, I agree that the base of that Lee looks . . . funny. Hope it works for you.

Trapdoors are fun. Good luck with yours!
