    Why not use the solid instead of an HP that came with your MP mold?

    I use the Lee 452-300-RF for 45 Colt. Inexpensive mold and hits like a hammer!

    Of course, do you really need a reason to buy another mold? I've got 2 for my 45 Colt myself; a MP copy of the 454640 and a Saeco SWC (but I don't recall the #) Good Luck in the search.

    IMO only one option a LBT 300gr gc LFN shot from 3 different FA 454 casulls will do under a inch at 50 yards from all 3 , from the bench with a 2x7 scope.
    I have 3 other moulds for the 454 although all accurate none will match the LBT LFN.
