Dats mo betta.

Gunner

Do I need to have chambers reamed or is that ok?

I would not.

Gunner

.451 JHP pushes thru much better

JHP should be .4515 for the bullet. Should work fine.

That's what my manuel says anyway.
Were the first bullets you tried cast lead?

But I dont wat to shoot JHP just cast bullets from it

Understand.
Next time I'm at one particular LGS I'll see what they have on hand. Most of what I see are gas check type cast. I'll get you some and send, if legal in your state.

You are lucky. My blackhawk measured .449. Local gunsmith reamed them for $35

Hey Jason,

Hope you're doing well!

Jay

I guess I'll call a local guy here tomorrow he specializes in pistols
Sucks to buy a brand new pistol and have to pay to have chambers reamed, don't mind spending $ if it for something to customize it like grips or a sight but damn how hard can it be to drill the right size holes!

Jay,
Doing well except for the fact that I have to
miss the hog hunt.
Should be there next year. Take care

I don't know if I would ream out 451 throats. My decision was easier because a 451 speer wouldn't even come close. If it takes a lot of pressure for the 451 speer and the 452 cast is a no go, then I think I would. You're right about how hard is it to have the correct size throats. From what I hear it isn't just ruger either

I had to pound the crap out of it with the dowel and hammer to get it thru way too tight

I would ream it then.

Be looking forward to next year Jason, and an ice cold spotted cow.

Gunner

Thanks a lot, gunner. See you then

Gunner

Hoping to have my bfr 475 ready for next year. Thinking it may be adequate. Have a mold coming soon.

That'll be a heck of a pig killer, and from what I read those BFR's are some fine shooting revolvers, there will be no bouncing off bullets with that model!!!!!.

Gunner

What fine firearm are you using this year?
