I favor from a practical standpoint the RNFP since I shoot 1911’s, 625 45acp, single action 45LC and lever action rifles. I don’t think my lever guns would feed SWC’s very well although my Henry BBB 357 feeds swc’s without issue.

I've had three lever-actions in .45 Colt. One was by EMF; it was junk and was returned, probably twenty-five years ago. I don't know if I ever loaded the magazine on that one. Another was a Winchester '92 reproduction by Miroku. It fed the 255 gr. SWCs fine, but bullets had to be more deeply seated than they did for revolver use. The Winchester '94 Trapper so far feeds anything without problem or special consideration for OAL, but the 255 grain SWC is the heaviest and longest bullet I have tried.
