Looking to buy .455 or .4555 cast boolits around 260 or 270 grains. I know Beartooth bullets has them but there is a back log on their orders. My order won't be ready for a couple 3 months at least. Bought some .455 from Montana Bullet Works but they measure .454 Thanks!

You going to size and lube them yourself?
If so I have a 260 gr .455-.456 RF.
I do not have a .455 sizer die.
How many do you want?

I have no gear to cast or size or lube. Been buying cast Keith style from vendors online. Looking for Keith Style or RCBS 270 SAA to shoot in an old 3 screw Ruger. Thanks.

You could always just bring boolits here and run them through the RCBS but you would have to buy a die and punch from Lathesmith whatever size you want them to be.

The 9 degree forcing cone cutter works out nicely btw!

Guys, I can't thank you enough for trying to help me out. This is a fantastic community of gun folks and I am really happy I found this place.

I am trying to load for my oversized throats that Dougguy evened out for me at .4555. The gun is shooting better than it ever has, but I still needed to do load development.

I think I found what I need. I spoke to Matt from Matt's Bullets (used to be a vendor here) and he is making me up some .455 Keith Style boolits from Lyman mold 454424. Weight should be 260ish and with a BHN of 11 they should expand in the throats nicely but be hard enough not to shave when seated. These will be mid tier .45 Colt loads.
