Itlooks like a revolver for auto-pistol cartridges is far more versatile than I thought. That 240 lswc has a huge meplat and would certainly do anything my .44 spcl. can.

Yes, they headspace on the rim. They also can be roll crimped, just not too much as it may bulge the case.

Bullet selection is one reason to use the AR case. With them headspacing on the rim, you can make some pretty neat revolver rounds with them!

Take a look at what I have run through my M625JM:

From 200gr LSWC to 270gr LSWC. You can't do that in an auto!

My personal favorite, a 240gr LSWC from a H&G #502 mold, in 45ACP or AR brass:
