I liked 'em fine in my revolvers, but in the rifles, I kinda overpowered em.  You will be running at the about the same speed in your 73 that I was getting in my Rugers.  I'm gonna be playing with cast now for awhile, and bought a couple boxes of the 240gr Mag XTP's and also picked up 100 of the 250gr FTX to try in the 454's.  My componets are in great shape, just need to start getting serious on reloading.  Just let me know if ya need em and they are yours.  And if ya show up on my door-step, please don't wear the suit :o, it kinda scares me :D ;D.  Otherwise, you are always welcome.  DP

Just let me know if ya need em and they are yours.

I really appreciate that DP!  I'm pushin the cast bullets up toward 18.0 gr. and once I get an idea how they shoot I'm going to try to equal or beat their accuracy with the Hornady's.  So it's nice to know if I shoot up what I got working up a load I can get 10 or so to hunt with!   ;D
