Is anyone using this mold? How is it working out for you? I would like the 454190 but Lyman does not do it in a 4 cavity, Saeco makes the #955 in 4 cavity and they look similar.

I have the 954 in 45 caliber 230 grain RNFP. Since they are supposed to be a .452/.454 bullet they cast large enough to size to .452” even though they are Saeco's. Mine drops just shy of.455”.
The 230 grain weight shoots very well in the 45 ACP also. Making it a very versatile bullet. Most shooters say the heavier 255 grain bullets shoot better in a 45 LC revolver but I"m not clear on why that is supposed to be.
