Just bought the $800.00 one. Wife said to go ahead on it. The bad thing or maybe good thing is that I bought a 6” Mod 83 454 with a 45 Colt cyl that came in on Wednesday for $1300.00 and I thought it was a deal too.Maybe I’ll shoot both at same time.👍 It was!! |

For .45 Colt loads in the 10”, I would DEEP SEAT in .454 Casual brass and, depending on bullet type, roll crimp on ogive or .060” above front band. To load in .454 brass saves cleaning before chambering .454 Casull loads. David Bradshaw Love this idea, David. Any reason not to apply to all Specials/Magnums? ***** If DEEP SEATING hurts accuracy, I’d have to undo much of my shooting over the past half-century plus. Bought, age 18, a C-H Swage-O-Matic press to swage copper half-jacket bullets with pure lead cores for .38 Special/.357 Mag and .44 Special/.44 Mag. In absence of a crimp groove, the SWC and SWC HP's were seated for the shoulder to be .020 to .030” below case mouth, then roll crimped. Used the same seating on many cast bullets, from Wadcutter to Semi Wad Cutter. Powder efficiency, sometimes a bit quieter, with match accuracy from the old Ruger’s and Smith & Wessons. Deep seating was done before we were born, far back as the self-contained cartridge. The pocket pool bullseye shooters I gazed up to as a kid deep seated 148 grain wadcutters in their .38 Specials, inspiring me to crimp above the slug in .38 and .44 Special. David Bradshaw |

Thanks, David. Being a relatively new reloader, haven't wanted to stray from dictates of reloading manuals. But, sounds like many upsides using this technique. Definitely going to try it!
