can't wait to try this one out. I am trying to decide on the micro groove (tumble lube bullet or the regular groove)

I will answer the question you sent me via PM here as others might be interested. Whether you go will the Micro Bands or standard lube grooves depends on whether you have a lube sizer or not. My preference is the Micro Bands, I think they shoot better. I do have a Lyman 4500 but dip or tumble all my bullets with liquid Alox and then use the push through Lee sizers.

I size this bullet to .452" for both my R92 and Taurus 450. I no longer use it at .454" as I sold my Marlin 1894S.

I am also torn with wanting to mess around with lead and fps ratios to try to get a reliable HP or just rely on a nice chunk of lead.....

I messed around with a few hollow points and feral hogs and will take a large meplat any day.
