7.5" Bisley 
Arrived at my LGS today. Now I just need to wait a few days since the background check system is all backed up. Still waiting on brass, bullets, and the shell holder anyway, but still kinda stinks not being able to take her home yet.

MEASURE YOUR BARREL, MY 7 1/2 INCHER WAS REALLY AN 8 INCHER. I LIKE MINE, AM THINKING YOU WILL LIKE YOURS.
SPECIAL CRIMP DIES ARE A CUSTOM ORDER. IF YOU WANT A REDDING PROFILE CRIMP DIE YOU WILL NEED TO GET THE 500 S&W MAG ONE AND CUT IT DOWN. YOU CAN ALSO CALL LEE AND ORDER A CUSTOM FACTORY CRIMP DIE. I USE A ROLL CRIMP DIE AND THEN DO A FINISHER CRIMP USING A 50 AE TAPER CRIMP DIE.

Howdy, and welcome to the forum. Oh, and I'm always curious as to the niche the gun will fill. Your intended use ?

I'll have to bust out the tape measurer when I get it home. I may wind up sending it to Huntington to get it chopped down to ~6" anyway after I get a feel for how it handles. Would like some wood grips too.
I picked up the Hornady 500 SW 4 die set. Hopefully that works well enough as it came with a dedicated taper crimp die. If not, I'll probably call Lee for their custom FCD. Also came with an extra flat tipped seater for the wide meplat boolits. Will find out how it all works once my bullets and brass get in |

That's a heck of a gun for a first time Single-Action firearm! I hope you have had other SA experience.
