325 grain SWC-GC too long for my M92. Wanna swap for 300s.

I have about 90 325 grain gas checked LBT type bullets in .430
They are too long to work in my M-92 carbine.
Anyone have some 300 grain slugs they want to swap ????

These are the 325 grain hard-cast loaded into 44 mag brass. They just barely clear the front of the cylinder on my M-629. They would be better in a Ruger, which has a longer cylinder.

The 300 grain, well actually 298 grain, slugs that work well are the third from the left.
L-R-
325gr
307gr
298gr Works best
265 grain , I have no idea why these do not do better.
255gr
246gr
207grain

The Ruger Redhawk cylinder is only about .050" longer than the N frame cylinder. Not a lot but I guess every bit helps.
