Does anyone reload Zero brand bullets? In particular, jacketed pistol bullets? Even more specific, 44 caliber jacketed pistol bullets? I have purchased local Zero brand bullets for years and have never had any negative issues. I bought 6k 45cal 230gr JHP bullets and dearly love them. The issue I am questioning now is with 44cal bullets by Zero. All the 44cal bullets I have ever reloaded are 0.429" - 0.430" diameter. These Zero brand 44cal JSP bullets are 0.431". Follow the link... http://www.rozedist.com/mm5/me...egory_Code=ZBJ-44MAG Has anyone experienced any bad reloading experiences with these 0.431" bullets? Does anyone foresee an issue with reloading these bullets? I shoot a Ruger Super Blackhawk, 44-Mag w/7-1/2" barrel. Thank you in advance... I have an extremely low tolerance for stupidity! | ||

Don't make no difference in lead bullets; as long as they will chamber. Fit the throats, not the barrel, is the rule in revolvers. In fact, 431s will work better, gas sealing and all. | |||

Thanks for the input.... These are NOT lead cast bullets. They are Jacketed Soft Point bullets. Thanks... I have an extremely low tolerance for stupidity! | |||

I have not used a jacketed 44 bullet of .431 that I know of. I normally use Hornady and I believe they are .430. I wouldn't have a concern using one. Just start low and work up. I do find it interesting that their lead bullet is .430 and the jacketed is .431. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

Will they fit through your cylinder throats? Have a .44 ruger here somewhere, I will measure it. Personally, I would just shoot them. | |||

I didn't measure my cylinder like you did. I honestly wouldn't expect a problem because they are obviously still selling them with 0.431" dia without any functional problems. I was just questioning this as all other manufacturers bullets are 0.429"-0.430". I have an extremely low tolerance for stupidity! | |||
