[QUOTE="tacosupreme, post: 2094243, member: 107107"] I got some HSM brand .459" 405 grain cast bullets from Murdoch's in Riverton a while back. I put them over 13 grains of trailboss in my 1886 Winchester (made in 1887) and they are more accurate than I am, but they don't feed well seated to the crimp groove, so I seat them a little deeper. I use the Lee factory crimp die and really like the results. I know that doesn't help your situation, but bullet diameter with cast is pretty crucial. My barrel slugs at .458". Many molds cast at .460 or more, and then go through a resizing die for the particular barrel they are being fed through. As a minor footnote, the same load shoots 1" groups at 100 yards with my BFR revolver as well. [/QUOTE]
