Looks like they are finally available... The one I like the most is for a rifle and has no cannelure...  For our crimp needs I see a 265 grain .430 bullet grain, a 200 grain .451 bullet and a 325 for our .458 bore stuff... I am thinking that my 450 Marlin BFR may see some of the .458s. That 200 grain .451 bullet made for the 460 should make for a real forcing cone eater in our 454s.... Anybody played with them yet? www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=894708 |

I pulled some from some 357 Mag ammo when Midway was the only to have that caliber (I needed the brass and had to shoot a cast bullet for the shoot in mind) and the reloads when I burned them off shot really good, I actually went and bought another box from midway to do what I was gonna do with the first one and the factory stuff didn't shoot as good as my reloads

So that is where the question about the 200 grain 357 bullets came from..  I hadn't even looked at 357 bullets in the LEVERevolution bullets... Looking at them now I am thinking that it might make a good bullet for my FA 353.... We need a copy of the newest Hornady manual to see what kind of loading data they have for these things... I'd better add one to my next Midway order. Risking the possibility of sounding like an old guy repeating myself..  I bet that 325 can be loaded to breath fire out of a 10 inch 450 marlin BFR... Put that little WUSS 460 on the porch with all the other wannabee 45 cal revolvers... |

I have a box of .452 250 gr. and don't know what there intended for! Hornaday would only say that they are not for 45 colt. They have no canalure and too long to load 45 colt with. Any Ideas?  |

They are made for the 450 Bushmaster... If you have a cannelure tool I think they would work in a 454 or 460....

Oh Lovely ! Could be Karma time....except I don't ever want to be a 30 streaker when the 240 Incinerator is such a cool round ! ;D Another option is the 6mm Mach IV or my .240 Incinerator. Both are 6mm's on blown-out 264 Mag brass. With 70 grain bullets and surplus powder, you can get 4,400 fps out of a 28" tube. Just a thought.

The upside with a 30 Streaker is you're not replacing barrels after a few hundred rounds  -Lee www.singleactions.com |

I bet that 200gr .451 bullet would be great out of my 460 Rowland conversion!! I wonder what the depth in the case would be with the proper OAL? Papa |

Oooooh, so you got a Rowland, eh? Sweet! Need to get some measurements to make sure you wouldn't have to seat them too deep. I guess you could always cut the sharp point off and just leave a little red flat tip. |
