275 Grain RF .454 dia group buy

[Willbird]

We can schedule this one to fit in with the other irons in the fire, but how many would be interested in the RF design to cast 275 grains and .454 in WW alloy ??

Timing is enterily up to group consensus

Bill

[45 2.1]

CB 45 RF, and put me in for one.

[13Echo]

If it's 45 2.1's design, I'm in.

[Willbird]

yessir 452.1. I was going to try to move the pic over tonite, compyter at work does not want to save it as other than bmp. bmp the board says is too big.

Bill

[J Miller]

OK, I'm interested, but before I jump in again, I need to know about how many $$.$$ to come up with and how long I have to do it. Also if this will be 45 2.1's design, which is sooooooo similiar to mine.

Joe

[Willbird]

Here is the picture, The group buy bullets have been $56.00, timeframe would be to kick in after the .314 group buy is closed, collected, and sent to lee

[ddixie884]

What is the nose length on this .45 bullet?

[Willbird]

>Nose to crimp groove = 0.340"
>O.A.L. = 0.740"
>About 265 to 275 gr. approx.

Nope, they don't, and I know. hahaha Try hot sauce on them, a good break in routine. Walmart has the same thing as great value brand thats cheaper yet. More money for molds.

[lar45]

I'm in.

Try some chopped green onions, a slice of cheese, and a cut up boiled egg.
Not too bad.

So Bill,
Do you want us to start sending you the money orders now?

Thank you for putting this together.

[Willbird]

Noooooo we will pump in the ether and fire this monster after the 312 dia group buy is closed and sent to Lee, unless this one was to take off and be more popular and make it to 25+ first.

OK, OK, I'm in! I will have to size em waaay down to 451, but a 6 cavity 275 grainer, will work sweet in my Smith Model 25-5 45 colt.

[felix]

Sizing a 45 caliber slug down is easy on everything. With large lube groove, you will never notice the difference between a 458 vs a 452 by looks. ... felix

Put me down for one of these, too (and maybe two if timing is right). Hoping they come out close to the 275 gr mark.

Should be a ball in my RBH. Anyone know offhand if this will work through the S&W 25-5?

I guess a rifle in this 45 Colt caliber is (or at least should be) in my future, too.

I really like the looks of the Rossi or Puma lever gun in 45 colt or 454. I passed on a Rossi 45colt at a gun show for $200. I've been kicking myself ever since.

[carpetman]

lar45---I just posted that you need to create more special occasions,so your wife can get the opportunity to use that Hoppes perfume. Now you tell us you missed an opportunity for said chance by not bringing that Rossi.357 home. Your wife would have been thrilled. Not much telling how much of that Hoppes she might have used. Guess I'll have to create a special thread of things you can do to create special occasions.

[Tom Myers]

I always wanted a 6 cavity Lyman 454190 and this looks like it is about as close as I'm ever gonna get to it.

Put me down for one too.

I for one am looking forward to slinging some of these medium weight 45's around when the molds come in.

Bill

[lar45]

Carpetman, I did bring the Rossi 357 home and it shoots great, I really like it. I did happen across a Rossi 92 in 45 colt. It was blued with that really dard brazillian hard wood they use for the stocks. It looked really nice. My friend got one of the new Puma 44 mags, in stainless. It shoots and handles great.
I am getting the wife a 30 Carbine from a poster here for her birthday.

[j4570]

I just found this site.

I like the idea of this bullet for my 45 Colt. What price are we talking for the moulds? I seem to have missed it.

thanks

JW

[Willbird]

The group buy Lee 6 cavity molds have been running $56.00 each shipped, they do not come with handles, that is assuming we get 25 or more molds in the order.

Bill

[floodgate]

Midway's August Sale flyer #218 (page 2, bottom of second column) is offering Lee 6-cavity handles at $11.39 ea. vs. their regular $12.39 - stock number 117-892. Probably as good as anything we'd negotiate with Lee. floodgate

[bdoyle]

Don't want to miss out. I want in.
Brian

[j4570]

for $56 I want in, this looks like a bullet I've been searching for for my Blackhawk.

I'm not worried about buying the mold handles.

Jason

[porkchop bob]

Count me in for one. Please send name and address for me to send postal money order. Thanks, Bob

[j4570]

Oh, I don't know the rules here,

I assume someone will let me know who to pay and when???

via email????

Thanks

Bill,

Just wanted to say "thanks" again for Honchoing this deal.

[alamogunr]

Put me down for one mold. I'll be watching for when and where to send the $. Hope I live long enough to wear out all these great mold deals.

Willbird, How am I supposed to get my house built with all these necessaties?Never have cast in a tent before.

[PatMarlin]

Since I just bought a Blackhawk with .454 throats, I would be crazy not to get in. Do you think there's a good chance they will be under .454?

Count me in for 1- thanks.

[Willbird]

I think 452.1 and I will have to make sure they do not come in under 454, we will talk about how to best dimension the drawing to accomplish that.

This may take some patience because if the molds are not to print we will have to send them back to Lee.

Bringing this back to the front page, the order will go in probably october 14th or so the way things are looking. We want to let everybody that wants IN to have time to send their check.

But get them in, we have 12 checks recieved so far for more than 25 comittments.

Bill

[Hans]

Is it to late jump on the bandwagon? If it aint how do I do it

[David R]

David

[Willbird]

OK, and I will PM you info Hans

Bill

[Willbird]

This order lagged a bit, so the checks will go in Friday, the order will go in 2 weeks after that.

Any last minute buyers get your checks to me by the 29th, from the 29th to Nov 12 if you get me a Money Order (not a check) you will be included

After that I cannot promise how many extras we can afford to order, IF there are any they will be $66.00.

Bill
