Been working with the 395 gr 475 miha HP bullet and I am deforming it seating it into the cases. I am using Rcbs dies but the seating stem doesn't perfectly match the nose profile of my bullet. I am using a fairly soft 70/30 ww-pb mix and this didn't happen with ww bullets or when the bullets were lubed and not powder coated. I seated some using my 500 mag die which is flat and only touches the bullet tip. It flattens it a little more but looks OK and shouldn't affect the HP. Should I get a matching profile seating stem or a flat one?

Thanks for all the replys, mainly wanted to make sure the bullet would expand, would have been worried if it didn't open up. I have shot wet newspapers in the past but didn't have any now. Thanks.

This was loaded with 13 gr of HS6 and runs at 1100 fps, might have to shoot a non pc bullet to see if it behaves differetly in the jugs. Will try to post pics of the recovered PC bullet I shot.

Powder coated my first bullets yesterday, the 475 Miha 395gr Hp to use in my SB Bisley 480 and shot one into water bottles today. At 15 yds, went through 6-2 liter bottles, shed noses in first 2 bottles. The large wadcutted like piece that went through weights 222 gr. These are chronying at 1100 fps and are a mix of 70/30 ww/pure lead I cast myself. Do you think the water is a harder expansion medium than flesh? I worry they will act like this in a deer instead of mushrooming and staying together. Does the Pc coating have anything to do with how the bullet mushrooms compared to a non pc bullet? Thanks.

I don't think it was sold on my way to the shop but a day or two earlier. Their computer inventory said they had it and the salesman at the counter thought it was there.

Almost forgot, they did have a 454 Bisley in the case.

Called a gun shop yesterday and they said they had a Ruger Bisley chambered in 480. Since I was travelling in the area and only 30 minutes away, normally over an hour from my house I decided to go buy it. Well guess what, it was sold, the salesman at the counter looked all over and couldn't find it, after asking someone else found out it wasn't there. What a letdown, no apology, no offer to try to get me one, nothing and this is from one of Pa's biggest gun shop. So, now back to the waiting game.

Hope my dealer hears from lipseys soon, just got an email my simply rugged holster was shipped today, just not right to have a holster with nothing to go in it, holster will be lonely.

Max, I guess you need to write a revised edition with the release of the new Bisley SBH in 454 and 480. Great book!!
