This past Sat. at the Carlisle Gun Show I came across 2 H&G molds which I snatched up for a pittance. Both in mint condition. One is a 4 holer with 3 wadcutters .358 and a .45cal. (454) wadcutter/semi-wadcutter? The #21. The other mold is a 2 cavity in the same #21 .45 cal. design. It's about 200gr. as cast and I'm ponderin' what to try it in. Don't think this is gonna feed in the .45 acp's I have. I never got any of them (4) to work 100% with anything but round nose. I'm sure it'll work in the Blackhawk .45 colt but using the crimp groove up near the nose of the boolit this is gonna make one very short round. That'd be a long leap just to get out of the cylinder. So what are ya'll using this #21 in? Audie...the puzzled Oldfart..

That bullet was probably designed for the M1911, and I recommend that you try it before you conclude it won't feed. You may be surprised.

21's feed through my 1911's.
