Not sure what to expect

I imagine the gun will shoot, particularly with the right combination, but I only shot it with hardball (and not much, at that).

Just for grins, I did look up that bullet, though, because I was thinking back on the reloading I did for a Model 25-2 about 15-20 years ago.

I'm sure you recall Grier bullets; I loaded quite a few of their 200-grain SWCs for that gun, and I found they shot a lot better if I seated them out a little ways, rather than seating them so the shoulder was flush with the case mouth.

Judging by the pics I found for the Lyman 452460, that might not work with that bullet since the front driving band is fairly short, but I thought I would still mention it.

Such seating is no good for autos, of course, but it can help with revolvers.

HTH :-)
