Anyone here cast this bullet ? I’m thinking of buying a 6 cavity Lee mold for my 1911 and would like opinions on it from those who have shot it. If you have a handful I can purchase to try before I buy that would be helpful too . I have a new 1911 fitted with a threaded barrel for suppressed shooting.Attachment 313845
I'm out I think, but it works dandy in multiple 45's .https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d5e34dbb62.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...32fce32cb8.jpg

Those look great !
It's a great bullet. I've shot it in ACP & Colt.
Feeds well in an old 1911A1 I tried it in. And about any Lever Gun in .45Colt that I've tried.

This is my other choice but in brass and 4 cavity .
No promises on how they'll navigate the suppressor, but they work darned well in every .45 from which I'VE fired them.
It's a great bullet for me. It casts nice and functions in everything. We've both lubed them and PC'd. Not sure if I have any left, I'll have to look tomorrow after a plumbing project (assuming I can remember).
Thanks for all the replies, it sounds like a good choice. I’ve thought about powder coating, never tried it though. All my cans are user serviceable so not necessary but may make cleaning a bit easier.
Have both lube and tumble designs, powdercoat both. They are a favorite thumper for pistols but keyhole in my hipoint carbine. Check into powder coating, you wont regret it. Cleaner than jacketed in all my guns.
What brand/color is that green PC?Quote:

I have a 2 cavity mold for that bullet. On a whim (kinda a Hmmm what would happen if...) I drilled out the bevel base and with my alloy bullets weigh about 235 gr, I have 3, 45 ACP guns and the Lee bullet feeds and fires 100%...
It is one of my favorites for the 45acp.
I believe it is from Smoke4320, it's John Deere greenQuote:

Thanks. I wonder if he is using a different supplier. I bought some JD Green from him in 2019 that had more of a "pea soup" color.

It could have been another green he had.

Try this: TL452-230-TC 6 Cavity Lube, PC, or tumble. WorksQuote:

Those look great, I’ll probably have to spend some money on getting set up for powder coating too .
