    Who would be interested in a Saeco #428, 429 430 and #353?

    Greetings Gents,

    Before the custom mold makers gave us the sizes we needed and custom designs...the old timers won silhouette matches and made meat with molds as they came. Next to a few others the 4 Im most interested in are the Saeco #428, 429 430 and #353?

    Looking for feedback to pick one of each caliber to clone for 45 Colt, 44 Magnum, 357 Magnum and 41 Magnum.

    What are your thoughts?

    265 is the optimum wight for caliber in 44 Magnum so the #430 gets the nod IMO. And it has a winning record on the silhouette trail and touted as THE long range 44 design. 432 and 434 HP'ed should be a winner.

    280ish for 45 Colt Scaled up #430 (Never offered by Saeco)

    180 for 357 (Easily HP's down to 165)

    357 would trip my trigger, maybe even a 41. I am looking for a true SWC 314 as well in the 100 to 110 grain range.

    Here is the Saeco 326, the problem is it is a BB mould. Great if you PC, but not so great for lubes.

    Saeco 322, but not a real SWC.

    I'd be interested in something like this.
    If it ain't broke don't fix it! I disagree with what you say, but I will defend your right to say it to the death! When people fear the government it is tyranny, when government fears the people it is Liberty!

    Hmmm.. I once wanted copy of this Saeco model 61023
    http://noebulletmolds.com/smf/index....pic,879.0.html

    Send samples and all but didin't take that much attention then. Still would like to get this one 61023 and 61021 bullets. Can't find decent picture of #021 bullet...And if possible .460 diameter..

    And liked to get MP:s version. Just because i have huge pile of NOE's molds and I really like MP's molds. Don't get me wrong nothing wrong on NOE's molds...

    But maybe interested any other .45 or .357 bullet also...

    The .432 option looks like a great boolit. A MP hollow point would be a great option. Put me down as interested.
