Whatever you are willing to put up with, is exactly what you will have.
When your ship comes in. ... make sure you are willing to unload it.
PAYPAL, sucks and I will never use them again. I recommend you do the same.

Ed just a footnote started weighing these this morning and they average 525 grs. This oughta be a real hammer over 105 grs of KIK 2F outta the 110. Although don't foresee a standoff with a T Rex anytime soon so will probably settle in at around 95grs instead.

I believe every 45 cal. BPC rifle I have owned has liked the 457125. They look good Woody. They will be a thumper over 95 grs.!!
I don't have any pictures but I've been shelling out quite a few 10.5mm, 270 grain, 9.3mm 200 gr. and 8.15mm 180 gr. bullets.
The 10.5 and 9.3 are new Accurate Molds and the 8.15 is an ancient Ideal I've been carrying around for 30+ years waiting for an opportunity to justify having kept it so long...hehe.

'was casting a 10 weight Orvis, but dang is it cold outside One of my greenhouses works super for casting since they're empty this time of year.Have big ventilation fans and I can cast in shirt sleeves when it's below freezing..works great!

Woody, I have one of those molds and have never cast the first bullet. Time to get started. Ed

No pics (not really hard to imagine what they look like) but I finally got around to casting up some .575 RB in anticipation of, someday, finishing my .58 cal Leman fullstock . . . Only been working on it for 4+ years, so no real hurry .

Just plop down $250 with your order and ya got almost two years to pay it off.In the mean time you get to buy all the necessary toys to have a ball when the rifle shows up.. Otter told me many moons ago, "All these years you've only been assembling ammo but now with a BPCR cartridge you will actually start reloading." What an accurate assessment!

It was a moment of weakness Bacon grease is actually difficult to work with because the dang stuff turns liquid with body heat from my fingers. The 3M Micropore medical tape is sticky enough and convenient to wrap with and it is only about 0.001" thick. I seated them in .30-30 cases and then just stripped the excess exposed outside of the case mouth with my thumbnail so it seats easily in the Marlin. The case on the far right shows it before I clean up of the excess. I ran it over 10.4 gr of Unique to drive it just about exactly 1500 fps and the load hit paper, doing maybe 2" off my knee for 3 rounds. Without the patch, no paper @30y. It still needs tweaking and I think LLA works better for me but the bacon grease will do in a pinch "Long live bacon!" <----- ummm, yeah!

I'm actually alergic to the adhesive on that tape. Used after some surgery it took longer for the burns from the adhesive to heal than it did the incisions. No scar from the small incisions but scars from the tape after 3 years. Go figure. Hope it doesn't put scars in your bore (:).

No bacon fat for these but the three hunting bullets I've settled on for the 45/110. Fairly sure anyone of these three will take care of big critters. 525gr Gov't..480gr Parker Hale..500gr PP
