WTB: 45 ACP hollow point mold

[guy_with_boolits]

let me know watcha got!

just want something to experiment with..might be interested in something a bit beat up if you know how it performs and can give me hints to make it usable (or use its products!)

IMHO HP molds are better bought nee. Many makers offer them and they prices are not outta line compared to what many thing a Used HP should sell For.

Good luck

I found this old Ideal 452423 240 gn. 'Keith' SC HP here on CB's site a number of years ago, think it was about $50 + shipping.
It's made many quality HP for me but it'll need your expertise in blending lead for the speed you intend them to impact at downrange.
HP's are a learning curve in the casting & in their application...it's a fun 'RabbitHole' to get into.

I've been using the Lyman 'Devastator' 190 gr RNHP in .45 ACP, AR and LC. I've cast it out of some fairly hard alloy and it tends to shatter rather than blossom in water jugs. Working with the single core pin is a major PITA when you're spoiled with Cramer type moulds - I'm looking for one of the MP versions but no luck finding one yet.

Below, on the left is the result of MP Mold's version of OS_OK's single cavity 452423 HP. The 2nd bullet designed by Elmer Keith, and my favorite .45 caliber bullet.
