I shoot the lyman 429215 that ends up at ~220-225 grains lubed with a copper gas check and drops around .431-.432 depending on the alloy I use. I size them to .430. The 429215 shoots well in all my 44's and is the most accurate boolit in several of them including my favorite 629 so it gets shot a lot.

He cast/shot thousands of them.

Surprised you haven't read all the fussing concerning this. One of the great controversies of the last 100 years. Many pages with the link below. The nice thing is you can read it in peace without all the back & forth that happens each time that question is asked. Enjoy.  https://www.google.com/search?q=boo...ourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8
