Yessir, I'll second that. Weight? Alloy? What will you shoot them in?

Great looking bullet . Is that the only two that turned out good?
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

A couple of years ago, I got a bag of 0.452s from a Creeker person on another site. They weight of them is 265 gr. Shoot really fine from the LC. What do these weigh?

Who made the mold and what part # is it? I have a .45 mold from Saeco that makes similar looking bullets with that very wide, and effective, meplat.
All guns should be locked up when not in use!

The mould is a MiHec RCBS 45-270-SAA clone. It's isn't exact as it does cast heavy but that was the plan.

These weigh 'bout 290 grains depending on alloy. Which site was that? I'm not sure, might have been "The Open Range", can't seem to find it now. It might have been longer than 3-4 years, though. Too many dead brain-cells, I guess. No matter, anyway  Jim
