The RCBS mold is 431 432. I size mine to 431. No leading problems.
The problem with the heavier bullets is that they take up to much combustion space. Elmers bullet was balanced for the cylinder length of a Smith, and the front driving band trues up perfectly in the forcing cone, groove size of the cylinder. The bullet should go in with thumb pressure to seat it all the way. That way it is trued up in the cylinder to the barrel. About 1 thousanths to 2 thou. over the size of the throats will do the job nicely. Make sure you use a lot of graphite in the bullet lube. That is what stops leading, and makes cleanup no problem.
100 rounds straight, and no leading. Accuract enough to hit a small fire extinguisher at 175 yards off hand, after about 50 rounds fired. An aimed,called shot. Repeated 6 times before witnesses.
