I might pull the trigger on a new mold from MP for a 45acp 200 grain SWC, anyone have any experience with this style bullet? I will be powder coating as well, no lube grooves.

I use the Lee 200 gr. H&G Style in my 1911 . Have an old mold that I took the lub grooves out of just to see if I could, It shot good out 50yards, stayed on a 9" plate , 2 hand standing, 75+ year old eyes
The 3 people a man must be able to trust completely are his gunsmith his doctor & his preacher ..,his gunsmith for his short term health ,his doctor for long term health ,and his preacher incase one of the others mess up.
I have the MP 200 gr SWC that is the clone for the Lyman 452460. It is my favorite for my RIA 1911. I also have the Lyman 452460 in a 4 cav. mold but it is heavy to cast with. I have the MP mold as a 6 cav aluminum mold. Mine has the lube grooves but I pc them anyways.
I've got his H&G 68 clone (FB) and it is awesome. It's got lube grooves but that is what I wanted. Easy to cast great looking bullets. I always say, his molds make it look like I know what I'm doing when casting. You'll not regret getting that mold.
Hi,
I have Miha's 6 Cav, HG68 mould without lube grooves. I Powder Coat or Hitec all of mine, so don't need the LG. It casts very well, and the bullets feed and shoots great. The added benefit is you get HP pins with the mould so you either have a 185gr HP, or 200 gr SWC.

I think you removed the bevel from the Lyman 452630, not the RCBS which didn't come with a bevel.
There are several really good H&G #68 clones on the market. I have a real soft (my wife calls it stupid) spot for ~200 gr SWC molds for the 45 ACP.
I've got SWC molds from 155 gr to 220 gr. The two I cast and use the most are the RCBS-201KT, which is no longer made, and the Lyman 452630. I've left the bevel base on my Lyman. I can't tell the difference shooting it and it really loads easy.
One of these days when things return to normal I want to pick up a 6-8 cavity MP clone of the H&G 68.

I just ordered a 4cav brass mould for a 45acp from MP. Let’s see if they are really as good as thousands of folks say they are lol.
