Looking at a S&W 1917 [or maybe a later Brazilian 1937?] bowling pin gun with a slab side barrel in 45 Auto Rim. What is a dependable shooter in this revolver? I suspect the gun is tight and the bore is .452, no idea right now on the cylinder throats.
I am NOT looking at heavy bullets -OR- screaming velocities. Wadcutters, SWC, RN, RN/FP are all loved. Not hot on Gas Checks, I would go broke feeding my plumbous addiction. Expected targets are gongs up to 50yds [maybe 75 or so...].
Sorta bi-curious on Lee tumble lube, but I am not a fan of Lee molds... If it ain't iron, I'm not partial to it.
I want to use Starline Auto Rim cases ['cuz this is 'Merica!] and a powder that is less likely to double charge... My presses are single stage, I deprime and prime manually. Shells are charged as a group with thrown charges. Expect to use one of my RCBS UPMs, so some powders won't be +/- .1 grains, but whatever...
