I run mine at 1.180 which works in 3 1911's and a Taurus.

Lyman #4 handbook says 1.170" for the tumble lube version.

I use 1.205" with the regular Lee 452-230 TC in my RIA 1911.

1.17" for me. That was my very first cast boolit mold. Still going strong and still feeds and shoots perfectly in my picky 1911.
The 6 banger heats up quickly and puts out great boolits. The mold drops them out like rain as soon as you open it up.

Thanks guy's ! that col will work for me all of my four other 45 acp moulds range from 1.240 to 1.255 col and they seat out to far to work reliably in my Kahr PM45 which has a short stroke action,( slide only goes back about even with the back of mag opening in the frame when its at full rear postion.) I tried some HG 130 @1.150 and the Karh ran fine but did not want a 185gr bullet ! so ill order the Lee 45-230 tc mould.
