Ojail
I have read that but I havent shot enough of the coated ones to tell that. Right now the only lead bullets I use are in the 45 colt and I havent shot to many rounds of anything lately. Just have no time to get any shooting done.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

You hit on the basis for my question, and I have no idea about using the SWC profile in the Uberti, either. The other thing that throws me a bit is the description copy on the MBC website about the SWC, which talks about it being "for magnum velocities," which is not necessarily what I'd be loading for when configuring ammo for the revolver.

Here's the SWC link:

Now that I've gotten some clarification from MBC that the RNFP would be good for either, I'll just go with a box of those. When buying lots of 500 at a time, I'd rather be sure! Besides, I've been using the RNFP HyTek 250 gr 45Colt just fine in that Henry/Uberti pairing.

Evan, MBC already answered this, but, I'll add that the .357 RNFP coated will work fine in a handgun. I have a Ruger Blackhawk, just don't shoot it as much as the rifle. Also, for trying different bullets from Missouri, they sell "Sample Packets"[100 ct. I think] for $15. For you, there would be no shipping. Win-win! I'll get a picture over of the 'ol Blackhawk later. Towel included of course.
