    Who makes a Wad Cutter mold in 45 cal?

    I'm looking at a Snub revolver in 45 Colt. And I'd like a WC bullet for it. I have round nose, and TC molds.
    I did a couple of searches and have found nothing. Any ideas?

    MP made a run of HBWC / solid wadcutter a while back in various calibers. One was the 45. Not sure how many were made. I don't see them come up for sale.

    Try NOE, I picked one up there a while back, 454 273 wad cutter. Have not had time to cast with it yet, but, looks nice.. There are 3 different weights listed, mine is the heaviest.

    For a light weight, look at accurate 45-170v. Might be a little less recoil in a 2 inch gun.

    Keep it simple. Load simi-wadcutter backwards and you will have a boat-tail wadcutter.

    Accurate molds makes one and if you don't like it you can change to what you do like. NOE makes at least one and arsenal mold makes a couple as well

    I am a big Accurate Molds fan. Great cs & quality at a fair price. Dont like what is in his catalog, just tell Tom what you want & he will make it.

    I have a 6 cavity Lee .45 Wadcutter (Yes Wadcutter - not a Semi-Wadcutter). Think I bought i back in 1977. Have not seen another one in many years.

    Hollow base WC, 235grs with HB and 274grs in solid - and you can make both with one mould.
