HTC452-230-RF 5 cavity PB vs 453-200-SWC 5 cavity PB (H&G 68) [AB3]

[ROCKET]

Can anyone chime in about these molds ? I wish they would make a HTC453-200 SWC 5 cavity :) I was thinking about getting one or the other but can't decide.

They'll feed a 1911..

Can't tell you about the HT 230 grain, but feeding shouldn't be an issue. As far as the 200 gr. SWC (#68), you will be hard pressed to find a more accurate or better feeding bullet as the original #68 was designed to hit the feed ramp exactly where the 45 acp ball round hit the ramp. The NOE #68 clone is not an exact copy of the original H&G #68, but it is very close. I own both a NOE 4 cavity Brass and a H&G 4 cavity #68 mold. Before you ask the old H&G made back in the 1930's actually produces a better looking bullet as you have to really look for a mold line, something I use to judge the quality of the mold. Steel is also not as heavy as the brass, but you can get a NOE mold today in brass or aluminum. Once the bullets are PC you won't be able to tell the difference.
