what type of nose profile and bullet weight are you looking for ? swc , rn , tc, lyman did at one time make a 452374 rn with a gas ck. but i think its discontinued.
the selection is very limted ! you may have to get a custom mould made to your specs from one of the custom mould makers ! i have 1 lbt mould and 2 mountian moulds . all are excellent and the bullets are super accurate. there are a few more mould makers talked about on this fourm but i have no experince with them.

well i do! i use the lyman 454484 round nose gas check with WW it casts a 235 gr boolit. i happen to have a DC mold for that and a single cavity both from lyman the single has cast maybe 50 boolits. the powder used is AA#7 (accurate #7) don't remember the charge weight right now. steve k

I have a design in my catalog at Accuratemolds.com with the correct nose length for the Rowland. It's a 200 grain gas checked bullet #45-200R. I can draw up most any other profile if you'd prefer. 2 cavity aluminum molds are $87 shipped.

Don't have a 460 Rowland, but a 460 S&W. Have shot the Lee 452--300 to good effect and have a custom mould from Tom and BRP to try in it too.

Tom makes good moulds

I like the looks of that 45-200R. I assume I could shoot it in 45 ACP as well as the 460? Is there any way I could buy say 5 or 10 bullets that were cast from those molds before I lay down some cash on a set of molds? I would like to see them and load a few to see how the work. Also I dont have any rcbs handles. Will they fit on Saeco handles?

[TomAM]

From what I read, Saeco handles may need to have the screw holes enlarged slightly, but if they are 5/16 or less in thickness should work. I can send you bullets from #45-230A which have the same nose profile, but longer nose intended for 45ACP. Seated to the correct depth in the Rowland, they will demonstrate how the 45-200R will feed. PM your address for samples.
