Over several years I have been working with Tom Ellis at Accurate Molds to develop a series of long-nosed .45 Auto Rim and Webley bullets having tapered, bore-riding nose which contribute to engraved body length. A common feature is that they all have a short band section to minimize seating depth in the .455 and .45 AR brass. Base diameter is .452 because this fits the cylinder throats of my Webley MkVI, Ruger Old Army with Kirst .45 ACP conversion, which also works fine with .455s, as well as in the Ruger Vaquero and Blackhawks.
The long nose exceeds SAAMI length in .45 Colt brass, but fits in longer Ruger cylinders. Loaded into Schofield brass, these bullets fit in original Colts, but the design intent was to produce a flat-nosed bullet for field shooting which has better knockdown power at suitable .455 and Auto Rim velocities below 700 fps. in the older guns.
I found these bullets to be more accurate and effective, as well as easier to cast than the traditional 265-grain Mk I and Mk II hollow-based bullets. I wanted people to know that these designs are in the Accurate catalog, covering a useful range of bullet weights, as needed to zero with your fixed sights, for those seeking better performance over tradition.
I use a charge of 3.5 grains of Bullseye in the Mk VI .455 Webley, 4 grains of Bullseye in the S&W M1917 .45 Auto Rim, 5 grains of Bullseye in the .45 Schofield and 6 grains of Bullseye in the .45 Colt Ruger Vaquero.
Diameters may be adjusted when you order to fit your revolver or cowboy rifle when you order.
