Thanks.
Can you use a .457 bullet in a revolver designed for .454 bullets? Will it just shave off the excess when you ram it home? The reason I ask is that I couldn't find a mold for conical bullets or conical bullets themselves in .454 and I can't tell if the Lyman mold is for .45 BP rifles, is conical, and if it is for BP revolvers or if it is for cartridges.
