What do you think of using it in a Ruger Old Army pistol?
I would like to get in line for one for my 45/70s anyway.

I had thought about that since I have an ROA. I have shot regular .45 ACP 200 SWCs and they shoot good but I guess I am not sure what the NOE CB will give me over a .45AaCP bullet of the same weight or the regular Lee 220? Not that I haven’t ever done something just for the heck of it so I will probably try it out eventually.
With the ROA I am interested in going the other way with heavier bullets. A while back Lee had a 250 gr. 6 cavity mould on clearance and I assumed it was a overrun of a “Kaido bullet” run they did. I jumped on one of them and it sure looks like that what it was. A .457″ 250 gr. bullet that looks optimized for the ROA. Got some cast up but haven’t tried any yet.
I highly recommend getting one of these for the 45-70. 10 grs of Unique pushes it out just under 1,000 fps and makes for a FUN plinking round!

Yes, everyone that shoots them loves them. Just a fun plinking alternative to the heavy bullets. Plus, you can make twice as many of them for the same amount of lead, ha ha.
