Probably length. Us Ruger 45 shooters are constantly handicapped by the stubby boolit designs made for the lopped off Colt cylinders.
Yup, I'd be in.

The design is too long for Colt and Colt clone cylinders. It will fit other revolvers, such as the Colt Anaconda, the .45 Colt cylinder of a Freedom Arms Model 83 or .460 S&W Magnums. There are others as well, but I lost my list of revolver cylinder lengths when my hard drive crashed last December.

The single lube groove would be easier if your sizer dies are set up that way, so you don't have to plug and unplug the holes.

Well, since the advent of MiHec's mold making venture everything has the option of being a cut as a hollow point. 45 2.1 has simply calculated the option into his drawing. Lots of people like the single lube groove for the ease of setting up their lube.
This is just a discussion. We'll hash out something that will work for most people.

I'm game, my H&R Buffalo Classic 45 carbine would love a nice big heavy boolit. My short barreled Blackhawk is a handfull though, I'll stick with lighter loads in it.
Don't see much need for a HP...

Just found this thread after asking about a heavy 45 in the colt thread. I'd go with a 350-360 gr hp for in the 45-70. Although I'd want a gas check on it.
I'd also like to keep it in a 2 cavity brass, Miha's brass moulds are a thing of beauty, and almost to pretty to use.

I've got a trails end 94 Winchester that feeds a 360 grain long flat nose (.410 from crimp groove to meplat) like butter. Hits like a darn 45-70 with a heavy dose of 296 and accurate too.

How much $$$ I've never done this before, I'm a newbie still waiting on my order for my pot and moulds. I do however have 450lbs of ww ingots smelted ready to go!
Like this one? This is a custom jobber that Veral did for me. 2/1 ww/pure gc'ed and lubed weighs in right at about 360 grains. Meplat is .4 and nose-to-crimp is about .385. I haven't killed anything with it yet, but it should hit like a hammer.
Edit: Forgot to add that it fits in my Blackhawk cylinder with room to spare.
Ya, that looks pretty good. I wonder if I could get it to feed though in my Puma 92 454. The metplat looks a little fatter then the CP 360 gr and I think the bullet profile makes a difference in the little kitty. It sure would be a good thumper in the Redhawk though. I'm getting 1155fps with H110 and CP 360gr out if the 4 inch barrel. Should be good bear medicine if needed.
I just checked CP and the 360 WLN is "nose .390 meplat .355" according to CP. Yours just might feed in the levergun. Would you be willing sell me a few lubed with the gc to try out in my levergun? Shoot me a pm if you're willing. If they worked out I'd get the mould specs from you and just order one up.

I hope this boolit is not going to turn into another general purpose boolit that will work in everything. Seems like everyone is asking whether this will feed in this or that. I believe that was the whole point here, for once to have a boolit made for a Ruger's long cylinder.
What's it going to be?

Heavy Lead just where did you git your 360, and are the pics that outdoorfan shows what yall are talk'n about?What is the max weight of deminishing returns on 45 Colt? ie too much boolit,not enough powder? If they'd fit, I would shore like a Mihec six/crammer like those.

I believe Mihec could make a gas check heavy off the same design for the 326 grain pb. I would take one of each in his brass blocks, I would use the heavy gc for the casull and the pb for the ruger. I know he is doing this with the 41 group buy and I'm in for both two.
What do guys think about that, we may be able to get to 20 I want this boolit. And for any of you that haven't had the pleasure of these Cramer style brass moulds, they are awesome, easy to cast and just simply a work of art he should be selling for twice as much.

I think I would like to have a "Ruger Only" .45 Colt Mihec mold. But this thread and all the other Mihec threads I follow, it seems like every post suggests a different configuration. I think I ordered a .41 Mihec mold. Can't tell from his site. At this point is there any possibility that this mold will be a hollow point/flat point w/plain base or GC(not both). Or will it be a swiss army mold with endless possibilities???

I believe the boolit in post #9 in the concensus thumbs up, I would certainly go for this mould, with Mihec's mould design you could enjoy a great hp and a penetrating solid as well. I would also like to see a design cut for a gas check as well. I believe he could do them in the same run with the same cherry. I would be in for both.

If a GC design is done with the same cherry, it would be done by cutting a longer/heavier bullet when doing the GC design, is that correct?
Or would we have to compromise the original PB design and make it shorter/lighter to accommodate the GC design?
I'm curious as to what the specs would be on both styles if this route is taken.

Since this is to be a solid/hollow point Mihec's brass cavity cramer style hollow point is THE way to go, these are every bit as fast as a standard two cavity mould, I'm sure a three or four could be made, but honestly with a brute like this I'm sure a two will do. I casted 200 keepers in an hour last night from the 44/444 group buy hollow point last night after an initial casting and breaking in period a few days prior, they are awesome moulds. And if you want the solid point, turn the pins around, reinstall the lock ring and it works exactly like a plain old two cavity, so simple it's stupid. My feeling is these moulds, once you try them will ruin you for any more Lee moulds, same with Swede Nelson's 5 cavities, a big wow on those two as I have his 358429 group buy, it's like Christmas in July here in Paw Paw.

Ok, I think it's time to try and get a list together with what everyone wants and see where we stand.
Everyone is pretty much in agreement that the design in post #9 is what we want.
MiHec cramer style mould, single lube groove, 2 cavity for Rugers.
Now the question becomes, can we get this done with the option of a gas check.
The GC design would be cut with the same cherry and therefore would be slightly longer and heavier than the PB design in post #9.
I went through this thread and have compiled a list of people who have expressed interest.
If I have missed you or misinterpreted your wishes, please post and let us know.

BoomerMikey, is the .456" meplat to crimp groove a show stopper for you? I know you wanted .453 to .454 and a PB boolit.
So it looks like we have 21 moulds between the GC and PB designs, perhaps more cause I'm sure I have probably missed a couple of folks.
I just wanted to try and get this a little more organized. [smilie=1:

08-05-2009, 09:44 AM
It's not too much of a problem to make the GC version about the same weight as the PB version. A difference of 0.003" shouldn't cause concern in the meplat to crimp groove length as long as it is crimped well, but it could be shortened slightly also.

We had a crisis come unexpectedly upon us this spring, and I've been pretty much out of the loop for most things in life and on line. However, we are slowly (but not steadly) recovering. I haven't done any casting since last fall, but I'd sure like to try to get back into it.
I really like the look of the original post..it looks like it would be a real dependable penetrator in a short (5 inch) barrel Blackhawk.
If the money won't be required until next month, count me in for a p.b. and heavy version.

I'm still interested. I would like brass, 2 cavity, pb preferable but GC ok if that's majority need, Cramer design HP ok but if it has to be I want reversible pins with blanks on one end (option to make regular rfn's) or be able to saw them off, #9 design single-groove just fine.
The issue with pb hps of this weight is alloy choice and velocity limitations. If you push this fast enough for good expansion with a low-antimony or Pb/Sn binary the boolit is likely to strip the rifling or skid enough to cause issues (I'm thinking revolvers here), mainly gas-cutting and leading. If the alloy is hard enough or alloyed for heat-treating it will be too brittle for good hollow point mushrooming without the nose shattering. This is why I tend to shy away from hp designs for heavy hunting boolits and let the big meplat do the work. Heck, it's a .45!!!! How big do you want it?
Anybody have any input on this?
The wait is no problem as long as Mihec makes them.
What's the diameter of the nose base? I'm looking for a full-diameter nose on this one, no bore riders for me please.

I'm ok with NOE, but it would be aluminum and I could just as well get exactly what I want from LBT rather than compromise on a group design.....the brass would be worth the wait to me if Mihec can/will do it in brass.

I love the HP Idea because of what I have read,Would it be possiable to have two pins made for each mold=1 HP the two cavities and =1set that would make the bullet have a flat metplat? I don't understand why this couldn't be done. It should just add the charge of the 2nd set of pins? J.Michael
All my molds have reversible pins - so hp or solid in one design

I know that MiHec has posted twice in this thread that he wants to do this mould. However, I just looked at his site and I do not see this mould listed in the upcoming group buys. :(
I sure would like for him to do this mould. I got one of his H&G 503 brass cramer style moulds a few weeks back and it is a VERY nice mould. Having said that though, maybe we should look at having NOE run this. Will they do brass or would it be aluminum? (personal bias, I hate aluminum mould blocks...)

cptinjeff I'm 99% sure Miha will NOT do a GC and a PB in the same blocks.
That's why I have you down for the PB only.
Skimmerhead, all of Miha's recent moulds have shipped with round and penta pins.
I seriously doubt Miha will change that.
If he does, we will all get plenty of notice before the blocks are on the machine.

I can't go PB and GC in same blocks because of HP pins lenght.
Penta and round pins are standard issue for each mold where this is possible.

OK, I'm still all for this group buy, but I'm wondering, especially since it has taken so long and also since we seem to have some 40 moulds, and Miha has ventured into a new area of 4 cavity brass, well could this be offered for those that wish a 4 cavity as well. I would just love to have this done in a 4 cavity cramer, if not a cramer then how about a 4 cavity solid option to go with the 2 cavity cramer? I'm thinking based on shop times we're looking at a couple months anyway, so when he gets the tooling it would be nice to get them all done, rather than run another buy down the road. I can't wait to unleash some forearm wrenching rath with some of these big dawgs.[smilie=w:[smilie=w:

Miha, what do you think of Heavy Leads idea quoted below?
Obviously, we don't know what interest would be in a four cavity solid yet. Heavy Lead is interested, as am I. If your interested in doing this we can gauge the interest in a four cavity solid to go with the 2 cavity cramer.
BTW, thanks for posting and bringing us all up to speed.

Based on the quality and castibility of my new 4 cavity brass in the 270saa, I'd strongly suggest some bandwagon jumping (on, not off) on the 4 banger, THE best mould I've ever had, period.

10-07-2010, 02:18 PM
Geargnasher, in light of Miha's post above, do you still want out?
Well, if we're that close, go ahead and count me in again. I wasn't faulting you, Matt, there have been a lot of timeline inquires all along the way and only one or two response from MiHec, and I was getting a little burned out on being in the dark. If I had dozens of customers chomping at the bit to get a product, I'd sure take two minutes to drop a line to them once in a while updating my manufacturing progress/schedule.
How much for the 4-cavity and I'll refrain from ordering one somewhere else?

Heavy lead
10-07-2010, 06:52 PM
I almost was thinking the same way as Gear to be honest, but you know these brass moulds are the best, I really, really want a 4 cavity though if it is at all possible, I just don't see myself shooting a whole lot of hollow points.
I'm waiting, this mould will be worth it.

How much for the 4-cavity and I'll refrain from ordering one somewhere else?
This buy wasn't for a 4 cavity mould. It's for a 2 cavity cramer style HP mould.
Now, I am waiting on a reply to my question in post 199 about doing a 4 cavity solid in conjunction with the 2 cavity HP, assuming enough interest is there to make it viable for Miha.
Having said all that, the last few 2 cavity cramer style moulds I bought from Miha had two sets of pins and cost $93.00 plus $15.00 shipping for a total of $108.00
I got in on the 4 cavity solid brass 45-270-SAA mould and that was $80.00 plus $20.00 (heavier) for a total of one C-Note.
@Southpaw:
I'm sending a pm to Miha and 45 2.1 to find out exactly what diameter this was drawn up as.
