    Looking for a casting mold! 452 255 he HP/solid or just HP! Also 357 mold

    Going to get back to reloading and casting soon and want to find a new bullet. I like to find a 452 255 gr HP mold if it can also do solid that would also be great. If not that's fine there are cheap solid molds out there anyway.

    I'm also looking for a 357 mold also not sure about weight yet as I have to see what is best for Hog but would like it to also be able to do HP and solid. I posted on the Hog hunting about what Gr 357 would be best and once I hear more I'll add what GR I'm looking for! The 358 is for a female 5'2 110 so looking something she can handle recoil wise.

    I do know I want 452 255 gr because as of now I have a 45 ACP hope to buy a 45 LC soon then if I want I can go to the 325 GR with that but still be able to use my hi-cap semi-auto with the 255 GR.

    I really don't understand why you would want such a heavy bullet for a 45 ACP? A heavy bullet just uses more alloy, it isn't more accurate or effective and load data is limited. If you want a really accurate bullet for the 45 ACP, find an H&G #68 mold or a #68 clone like NOE makes, even with a HP option.

    For the 357 nothing beats the H&G #51
