1. Ruger has notoriously constrictive revolver throats. My Vaqueros would not chamber some cast rounds until I opened the cylinders to 0.4525"

2. Powdercoating builds up the ogive dimensions ahead of the bullet shank -- dimensions that are not sizable.

OOC: What bullet/bullet shape are you using? How deep are you req'd to seat them before the cartridge will chamber? *

* this assumes case mouth sized back to no larger than 0.471"
