What was the difference in shells the weight or tips???

The 158 grain SWC worked perfectly. The 180gr TC would work, but would require jiggling, and needed a finger to help it once. The tip seemed just a bit too big to feed smoothly. I am sure it would work in a pinch, but I am not in a pinch. The 180 TC feeds fine in both revolvers. That is good enough for me.

In the picture below (not mine, I borrowed it) the two bullets I use are the ones on the right.

Good looking rifle, I like it. Think you did real good, enjoy.

That's a good looking rifle.

I'm thinking a round nosed bullet would feed the best, in that type of action. Is this correct?

good looking rifle.the lee 158 gr RF bullet works great and the round flat nose is a excellent hunting bullet.

I will switch to an RNFP if the SWC gives my any problems. So far it is perfect. My favorite bullet company does not make the RF, and I love their version of Molly. I can push them up to FMJ level velocities without any leading.
