I haven't checked my throats yet and I don't really have a way to do so outside of trying to pass a bullet through them. I'd like to get them uniformed as you guys, might have to look into a reamer or send it off to someone who could do it for me.
My BC is between .006 and .007 with feeler gauges.

Did you see my post about renting the reamer? I have a thread in the Lounge telling about it.

I haven't checked my throats yet and I don't really have a way to do so outside of trying to pass a bullet through them. I'd like to get them uniformed as you guys, might have to look into a reamer or send it off to someone who could do it for me. My BC is between .006 and .007 with feeler gauges. ***** Important to be clear. There is a difference between CHAMBER EXIT HOLE uniformity and enlarging the exit holes (exit hole=throat). Unless there has been a drastic change, diameter of Ruger exit holes tends to be uniform----not “all over the place,” as is often implied. The .45 Colt is a case unto itself, in decades past with throats of excess diameter----ruinously so on S&W. Then, Ruger swung the other way, reaming exits at .449-inch or similarly tight. This strange piece of dimensional theatre never poisoned production of .357 and .44 Mag, nor the .41 Mag. Only the .45 Colt seems to have endured generations of confused throating. The real rub comes when cast bullets are fired through tight exits, bullet abrasion unavoidable. To ream a tight chamber exit, just be certain of technique. An unsupported reamer does not automatically center. Instead, the reamer walks to one side, which may result in a correct diameter exit----off axis. I set a shootoff record with a Dan Wesson Arms M44 8-inch Vent Heavy .44 Mag. Chamber exits measured an astoundingly tight .426-inch. Three DWA persons were at the match, at least one of ‘em tracking the bullets through a spotting scopes as the 240 JHC's arced 205 meters into little turkeys and rams. With late afternoon sun behind the shooters on the open firing line, conditions were fperfect for visually watching the backlit bullets sail downrange. Later on, DWA reamed the exits to .429 or .430-inch. Accuracy didn’t improve one lick. That revolver was fired with jacketed only. A cast bullet would not tolerate those tight exits without leading.

Oh... Wonder if anyone makes rings you don’t have to work on? Plenty of good quality rings available. If I wasn’t able to make these work, I would have bought Tally rings.

WELL, I HAVE STARTED THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO ACQUIRE A BISLEY 45 COLT HUNTER. MAY GET THE WIEGAND MOUNT FOR IT AS I LIKE MY OPTICS SITTING FURTHER BACK. WILL EITHER PUT AN OLD SIMMONS VARIABLE ON IT OR A GEN 2 2 MOA ULTRADOT ON IT. WUD ALSO GET A BELT MOUTAIN No. 5 STYLE BASE PIN, HAVE 2 DOGS CHECK THE CYLINDER THROATS, AND DO A "HOMER" TRIGGER JOB MYSELF. THEN COMES LOAD AND BULLET DECISIONS. WAIT, I MAY BE TALKING MYSELF OUT OF BUYING ONE?

Just picked mine up. Grip frame to cylinder frame fit is exceptional. Trigger needs NOTHING. Overall finish is uniform with no swirls, very pleasing. Grips are what we know. Will check throats one of these days. VERY pleased.

Observation: It appears that the roll marking of the past has been replaced by electro ethcing. Nice touch.

Someone posted their “Certificate of Authenticity” from Lipseys on Facebook yesterday and it said 320-something. Seems like i heard 75 or 79, and then they ordered 250 more. Mine has 336 on the cylinder face. I’ll look at my box and paperwork this evening to see if it says anything. The number on the cylinder face is usually the last 3 digits of the gun's serial number so that they stay with the right frame when disassembled on the bench. I would LOVE to get in on one of these, but after all the work I had David Clements and Jack Huntington do on my 44 mag Bisley Hunter, and all the hours and trouble I put into fire lapping it to make it the exceptional revolver it is now I am hard pressed to start over on another.
