Does anyone here shoot this bullet and could measure the bands for me, please? I have heard that the bands are smaller up front than those on the Rapine. I have been told that the Lyman bullet will chamber deeper due to smaller front bands. Correct?

Thank you, sir. :wink:
Rapine makes two sizes of molds for the sharps. The larger works in Armi-Sport. I just went through this problem. The smaller one is closer to the original size and is smaller. I don't have samples in front of me, but I was told if you inserted the bullet into the muzzle pointed end first, only the first band should fit into the barrel. The smaller bullet can be inserted into the muzzle to the last band. Hope this helps...
