Looks a lot like the .452-255 Lee RFN that I use in mine.

Russell,

Are you going to the picnic Saturday. If so I would like to see some of your loaded Rowland ammo. I believe that Roy is using a Lee 255 mold.

Yep that is the lee bullet. If I do the Rowland that is the bullet I am planning on using. I have been thinking about having a mold cut with a slightly more tapered nose so that the edge of the meplat has already left the ramp into the throat before the ogive catches up. With the higher slide velocity of the Rowland it should feed perfectly. reflex264

You guys that roll your own lead are killing me ;^) Not sure if you have actually played with Rowland brass yet, but the added length of the Rowland brass over standard might give some seating fits on the ogive of the bullet. Perhaps not.

One suggestion if you have not tried some different feed lip geometry magazines might be to do so. It would be dandy to keep the meplate like it is if you can. The older style Colt magazines do offer a bit of difference in the timing of the release of the base of the loaded round, so that might help with the feeding.

My thinking is a bullet with a slightly longer shank so that the longer brass would still crimp without getting the ogive. If done right the bullet would work fine in the super and the Rowland. Weight would be 245-255. reflex264
