Hornady 454 die set for Colt reloading?

[psychbiker]

I'm looking for colt 45 die set that's .454 since that's what I'll be sizing mine to.

Hornady has a 4 die set for https://www.midwayusa.com/product/14...ride-4-die-set

but further reading says it's .452.

Will this work with cast .454 boolits for the colt round?

I have all Hornady custom grade dies and really like the floating seater. I don't want to get it and find .454 bullets get hung up inside.

As for the taper crimp, I'm hoping a .454 taper crimp in the 4 die set will work.

Thanks

Edit: Hornady 45 colt and 454 casull both list bullet diameter as .452. If I cast and size to .454, will that be a problem in reloading?

Anyone?

Hornady Cowboy dies. They size a little less than a "normal" die and come with two expander plugs, one is .454. They're a bit spendy although when I purchased the sets I have they were less than the RCBS Cowboy dies. I bought them for loading oversize cast bullets for my 45 colt, 44mags, and 357's. They do a good job.

You can buy the RCBS cowboy sizing dies, or just the plugs. I believe that PSA has them on sale right now. This doesn’t address the potential problem with the sliding seater aligner thingy that Hornady uses...but that bushing should be easy to ream if it comes to that.

For what firearm ? lever gun ? It can make a difference if the brass is intended to be shared between guns.

SW 45 colt revolver and I plan to get a Rossi or Marlin 45 colt lever.
