I bought a S&W 25-2 in .45 cap to use in NRA Bullseye competition, and when I got it home, I used a plug gauge to determine the cylinder throat diameters. All of the throats will pass a .455" plug gauge, and all of them will admit a .456" plug gauge but not allow it to pass out the front of the throat. In view of this, I am probably looking for a .455" or .456" mold. I see a lot of mention of how well the 453-238 shot in many 25-2 revolvers.

What diameter do bullets fall from the mold at, with the NOE 453-283?

Is there any other specific mold I should be looking at?
