The Lee 200gr lube-groove SWC mold is a great choice especially in 6-cavity flavor. I'm not as fond of the tumble lube version, but the lube groove version is very accurate and has fed reliably in all my 45 Auto pistols. Size to .452-.453" and seat it with about .050" shoulder sticking out of the case mouth, adjusted for your barrel of course.
I recommend the 6 cavity instead of the 2 cavity for a few reasons, even if you're not planning to cast a few hundred at a time:
- quality is usually better on the 6 cavity molds. This is a big deal; in the last 5+ years I haven't seen a single bad 6 cavity mold, but have dealt with several out-of-spec 2 cavities.
- temperature seems to be more stable compared to the newer T-shaped 2 cavity blocks
- the sprue plates are better
