The outfit I have been ordering bullets from has not filled my order in over a month.

I guess this was the nudge I needed to get started.



Got a big order in with Midway but was disappointed to find that the RCBS 45-270-saa mold is out of stock with no back order.

I could not find this mold available anywhere on the internet. Even EBAY was sold out.


This bullet shoots great in my Marlin and Blackhawk so I would like to keep using it.



Are there some different places to find this mold? Is RCBS on the way out?



Is there a similar bullet mold that folks like as well as the RCBS version?



Thanks.

I have an Accurate mold which is similar and casts cleaner than the RCBS 45-270-SAA. Check out Accurate molds.

Jim, Miha makes a similar mould. These are brass moulds made in Slovenia, that's north of Montana!! These are great moulds & they sell them on group buys on the Castboolits Forum. The same mould will usually make 4 different bullets, a solid, a small HP, a large HP & a Penta HP, all for about $137 for the 4 cavity.
If you'll PM me your address I might just send you some to play with.

Hey Creeker,
I didn’t know that you were no longer in the cast bullet business. Even though I cast my own, it was good occasionally to see what you were doing. Good luck to you. Oops! Didn’t mean to hijack the thread, sorry.


If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

I had too many irons in the fire. Sold the bullet business & the firewood business & retired from my 40 hour job. Plenty of time to shoot now.

Priorities, sir....priorities!

Glad you're doing well.

The fellow I buy from apparently deposited the money he got from Pay Pal on the 6 of June.


Still no bullets.........



I guess its time to take the plunge!

Do it, Jim. It's a great way to spend a winter evening up there in the Great White North.


Works well as a pastime down here at the Tropic of Hades, too.

I've got the MiHec version of that mold. It's awesome. Does great in my Ruger Bisley, my old Knight BK92 in a sabot, and more fun that kicking a mean dog when paper patched and shot out of my #1 .45-70.

It was designed by Dave Scovill (I've got the "Handloader" where he discusses it's development).

It is the bullet that St. Elmer would have designed, had he not been given a weight limit that resulted in the 454424, that Lyman has spent the last few decades botching and butchering.
