Hey all, looking for a little help here. I'm trying to locate the length of certain Lee .45 cal pistol bullets, to find one for a certain twist barrel rifle I have. Specifically, anyone cast these and if so could you measure the length and post it? I'm trying to find one with a length of between .500-.600" long and hope that one of these moulds may drop at my needed length: 452-200RF; 452-255RF; TL452-230TC; 452-230TC; 452-252SWC. Also, if you cast the Lee 429-200RF, please send that in too.

If anyone knows of where to find posted bullet/boolit length info, let me know. Thanks.

Thanks Buckeye Bandit. I assume you had a typo, and it's .6245, appreciate your help.

That Lee 429-200RF is .600"-.605". My Lee 452-255RF is .615".

Way to go, OBXPilgrim! I was hoping to be able to shoot the 452-255RF and @ .615 it looks like a distinct possibility. Always wanted one for my Blackhawk .45 colt and if I hadn't gotten such a good deal for a used 454424 i'd have picked up a six cavity Lee. Appreciate you posting this info.
