    MiHec 4 cavity brass 45 Ohaus HP

    This boolit was done as a solid in a Lee GB by Dutch4122. He would like to see a good MiHec brass HP of it to go with his six shooter.................. The original GB weight was about 270 gr. A blank plug could provide that as well as a couple of HP weights depending on what was wanted. Here is something to look at.

    Thanks Bob!

    This is an excellent heavyweight in the .45 Auto Rim revolvers. My 625-6 Mountain Gun absolutely dotes on this slug from the Lee six cavity Group Buy I ran previously. Now I really want this design with the hollowpoint option. Newer (stronger) N Frame guns like mine can be loaded to push this boolit into the 850-900 fps range with careful powder selection. Older M-1917's and 1937 Brazilians would require a more conservative approach to pressure in mind.

    Also, this boolit is not for all .45 caliber revolvers. I have attached below a picture detailing the relation of this boolits long nose as it will sit in certain cylinders; specifically in the .45 Colt. Basically, .45 Colt Rugers, and full size .45 Auto Rim revolvers will work with this design.

    If anybody is unsure if this boolit will work in their revolver cylinder I have some at hand; and I can send you a round to make up a dummy with so that you can check.

    I'm interested, though I'm partial to Miha's 2 cavity HP moulds.

    Doesn't the attached thumbnail show this to be too long for a S&W 25?

    The attached thumbnail shouldn't be there as its for the 45 Colt cartridge, not the 45 ACP or AR.

    I thought I made it clear in the above paragraph what the attached picture meant.

    The picture was used in one of the threads from the original Lee Group Buy in 2008 to illustrate what .45 Colt revolvers this design would fit.

    I would like one of these for my 625JM.
    The hollowpoint cavity looks very good.
    A set of penta-pins would be nice too.
    Blank pins are great to have.
    I'll be happy with what everyone else decides.

    I count nine interested or definately "in" for this design. We need at least six more to get this one on Mihec's radar screen. Any more takers?

    C'mon .45 AR shooters, you know you can't resist!

    How about moving this over to the "Active" area and getting a formal sign-Up list going ! I think it may disappear if we don't ! Mihec will not get very involved until we get a list anyway.

    I sign up no matter if it is a 2-cavity or a 4-cavity.
