    Thanks! Now the one last question, is there a 200gr version of this?

    I see the Accurate # 45-180D is the 180gr version.

    Some lyman 45 acp molds drop a .454 boolit. I am lucky to have have a 452460 that drops at .454. I can pan lube or resize.

    Crimping over the ogive has always worked for me. With a kiss from a Taper Crimp die for use in Lever Action rifles. Fired many thousands of rounds loaded just that way in a 1894CB 24" and 1866 clone 19" with nary a problem. All bullets are sized .454

    Accurate makes Great molds. I have a great one in their #45-200J and it Does have a crimp groove.

    I HATE auto-correct

    He is accurate molds. The only true 1 off holder maker that I know of. His molds are made to order just like burger king you
    Can have it your way and he had the best customer of any type of business anywhere. Don't believe me look at who answered your first post. You can reach him at accuratemolds,com. Look at his web sight read the faqs then let Tom know what you'd like from diameter to style and weight and any questions he'll guide you along the way

    Yes it does, Lyman has a 454190 250gr. One lube grove and a crimp grove. It is a Round Flat nose. It is shown in the #4 Lyman Cast Bullet Manual.
    Made a mistake here it is not a Keith bullit. It is a round flat nose.

    The Lyman 454190, is actually a plain base rnfp with two grease grooves.
    If a 41 won't stop it, I wouldn't bet my life on a 44.

    Unless you absolutely need the .454 diameter, the LEE 255 grain rfn would be a very good compromise, and a lot more affordable. I use the six cavity and it casts great boolits. I use them in the 45 Colt cartridge, and sometimes l load them in the 45 acp cartridge.
    If a 41 won't stop it, I wouldn't bet my life on a 44.
