[quote=Creeker]Ballisti-Cast cut this bullet for me, a 475-400-K. In the lower pictures it sit beside the 44-300-K. Nose pour!
Those look nice!
Not nose pour. The meplat is marked going through the Star sizer pushing the bullet before out the bottom. Gotcha! Speaking of Creeker's beauties, I still have some .453" 325 grain Keiths for my new model Blackhawk 45 Colt (not a flat top). Anyone have a pet load for them?

Think. It's not illegal, yet.

I use a "sissy load" in my Blackhawk, 8.5 of Unique.

Will give it a try. I don't think there are any critters around here that could stop one of those bullets, even at sissy speeds.

I'm looking for a good all around 44 mold in the 250-270g weight range. I'd like a Keith style with a wider meplat but something not too long so it will work in all my 44s including my lever guns.
Many I see have too much of a tangent up front angling into a narrower meplat.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Bb

Thanks, Bb Keith profile bullets in lever guns are not guaranteed to feed & can be a real problem. The RCBS 44-250-K or clone would be the weight you are looking for.

Arsenal will build you a 5 cavity gang mold for the 429421 Keith style semi wadcutter weighing at 255 grains for $88. They take a Lee gang mold handle approx $30. I have a Arsenal 5 hole in 358421 they are the tits..mb

That's a nice looking 500 bullet design. I'd like something similar in a 44 with about a .340 meplat and a little shorter nose with less tangent on it. Does that work well having a 3 bands 0.100? Is that too thick for a front band on a .432 or so?

The NOE 270 44 Keith fits that bill; shorter nose, less tangent.
I've had good results in the 1894 44 Mag Marlin with NOEs H&G 503 as to decent feeding with Keith designs.
The RCBS 250K is a bit of a hiccupper.

Bb You find some sixguns which may have a little trouble chambering the Keith with the .100" front band. Personally I've not experienced this but have read of those who have. The Lyman/Keith I sold had the front band at .090".
