    Saeco mold #265 210gr rnbb for 45acp---opinions please

    I ran across a mold today for 45ACP that I had never seen before. It was a Saeco #265. It is listed as a 210 grain round nose wad cutter with a bevel base. Saeco claims in their literature that it feeds really well.
    It looks interesting but I don't know if it would be any better than any other boolit.
    Has anyone had any experience with it?

    I've had that mould for at least twenty-five years but have not worked with it recently. Bullets weigh around 216 grs. in ww alloy. I've probably never done enough in the way of load development with this bullet, but as I recall, it feeds fine. MY notes show good accuracy with Unique, a powder I seldom use because it doesn't work well in my measure. I believe I tried Bullseye but have no record of that. If I were to use this bullet again, it would be my first choice.

    I did try #7, 231, 452AA, 800X, Herco, and Blue Dot with mediocre results. I've never known anyone else who has used this mould.
