    Mold for Ruger 450/400?

    Does anyone know of a mold that is about std wt for this round and has a gc? I think the gc will be needed as I hope to duplicate factory velocity. Maybe any members in AU or NZ know if CBE has a mold designed for this round? I found a 418-410 mold in the CBE catalog said to be for the 416s so might could size that one down as it is about the right wt. Thanks for any guidance.

    I am using the RCBS .416" mold sized down to .413" in my Ruger #1 in .405 Winchester..I lube and check the boolit first in a .418" die then run it thru a push thru type die made by Buckshot..

    I haven't played with it that much but that mold shows promise.. I bought it from Buffalo Arms..

    Get a note off to Tom at Accurate molds and tell him what you want. He designed a dual weight 2 cavity mold for my 600 and had it in my hot little hands in about a week. Top quality and it was only $85! Lee 6 hole handles fit also.

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. -----Ronald Reagan
