Lyman #457193 or similar?

[Bert2368]

Looking for boolits to test- GC or PB, would also consider appropriate PP mould. Need something suitable for a .458 groove Dia. and 14" twist at velocities 1400 fps and up. Lyman #457193 would be of particular interest, either the mould or some samples for testing.

Have many kinds of .310 rifle or .452 and .431 pistol boolits to swap. Or cash.

I can help you.....let me get back to you with what I have. I know I have one that is HP'd too, but can't recall which one. I know I have a bunch of styles.

Thanks Doug!

And to the others who have PM'd me about this.

In your honor, I'm going to title my eventual post on the .458 X 2" American reloading project ".457, the friendly caliber".

Must be the large amounts of Lead you big bore guys are used to giving away every time you pull the trigger?

[Bert2368]

Thanks to all who have offered to help with my .458 project!

I have enough on the way to start testing with now-

One of the members who has some #457193 cast up PM'd me, I don't have any yet- But I might want to pick up that mould. PM me?

Bert,

I'm preparing to move into BP .45-70 and I have bought most of the available moulds including Hoch nose pour 550gr. It could take me a while to get a round tuit. Do heavier bullets sound intriguing?

Bert I have many molds for the 45 cal from 330hp to 485 RNGC. the closest to 457193 is a Accurate Mold 460-405. If you want will make up A SFR box with a sample of what I have. One trick you can use with the 458-2" for plain base boolit you want to push faster then there made for is to use a powder that fills to the base of the boolit.Then place a GC upside down in the flared case and use the boolit to set the GC. Using this method I have pushed a 457122(330hp) to 2100 in my 450Marin bolt gun. This load is very hard on deer. Clint :lovebooli
