Rover, generally speaking on revolvers you size to the cylinder throat, assuming the throat is larger than the groove diameter. If reversed that is a different story for a different thread. Your Ruger's should be fine with .429. Rifles should have the largest diameter that will RELIBLY chamber in a fouled gun, some 44-40 will chamber .430 when clean but not after a couple stages. In this case drop down to .429. Or just start with 429 in the beginning unless there is a problem. Sizing any lubed bullet down 2/1000 is no problem. Shooting undersize bullets with lube is a leading issue looking for a place to happen. Soft bullets like ours should be at least groove diameter or larger when they leave the cylinder. Shooting undersized coated should not lead unless the coating is broken. Accuracy may suffer, but probably not enough to matter at average SASS distance. Sources? outlawbullets.com I can't speak to coated bullets from personal experience but sizing down a 1000 or two shouldn't be a problem either. T Bone

Not only will I replace it, I will replace with a "can't miss" bullet.

Eyesa, I have heard of that bullet and may have seen a pic at one time. The only two reasons I can think of it's purpose is one to make the bullet longer and the other is to allow a larger amount of a soft black powder lube to be used. Having said that, my mold cutter can make almost any thing I want, the question is how many can I sell to pay for the molds. What is your purpose for using that specific bullet? More lube or a longer 200 grain bullet. We are looking at a 45-180-rf with a standard lube groove if we can generate enough interest as well as a 44-180 truncated cone. All our SASS offerings at Outlaw are run on a Magma Bullet Master with either 4 or 8 mold sets. We generally run at least a whole day per mold set because of the set up time on the caster and the lube master. Feel free to respond here or you can email me at, tony@outlawbullets.com and we can talk it through. T Bone Johnson

Outlaw Bullets is back up and running in Georgia. We want to thank Waimea for a super easy transition and after the sale support. We wish them the very best in their travels between USA and France. We have inventory ready to ship so please visit our new website at "outlawbullets.com" We also want to thank all the SASS members who stuck with us and offered any support they could during the move from Florida to Georgia. We appreciate it. T Bone Johnson

For those of you that haven't had the pleasure of meeting Waimea, he is the the most gracious and friendly outlaw I have ever met. Lady J and I wish to thank him for taking the time to make sure we were successful at taking over Outlaw Bullets. We wish him the best and safe travels between here and France and looking forward to some nice French wines (hint, hint). We are up and running on the machines and about have the hang of it. Web site hopefully will be up running late next wk (fingers crossed). And yes the Magma thing was a gut punch. I also have talked to Eric and can completely understand his labor woes and supply chain issues we have all had them sense covid started. We are fortunate enough to have access to several machinist to fix or make anything we will need. Stay tuned and I will keep you posted on our progress either here or on the "merchants corner". T Bone
