I have a 1917 Smith and a RBH . If I need to hot rod AR/ACP I know which 1 to put it in . I am currently running a rather boring but accurate load of 5.5 Unique under a 45 200 SWC RCBS, 452-252 and 255 Lee boolits. As a point of interest I think everything shoots well in the 1917 even a paper patched 430424 that drops at 448.
My question is ,is there a 240-255 mould that takes advantage of the long cylinder throat and minimal case space intrusion? A front band in mine could be as small as . 452 as this specific Smith is zero nothing minimum tolerance all points. I tinkered with the Mtn Molds tool and it says it is pretty easy to get a useful boolit but the expense of the 1 off is more than I want to do at this point Especially if I'm already walking down a paved highway .
