Jim,
What, if any, bullet "jump" did you experience with lubed bullets?
Wonder how powder coating would work?

Re: 45 ACP SIXGUN
Any of you guys take the plunge for a FA .500 Wyoming Express? I thought that would be cool but a .44 mag kicks plenty for me :D Not a Wyoming Express but the ballistic twin (500 JRH).
