Need help locating a mold or bullets supply

[Walter Laich]

One of my friends got a Thunderer in 45 Colt--as this rifle was never designed for the 45 Colt it requires a certain shape bullet for successful loading

He does buy commercially loaded ammo that works and wants me to cast that shape--I CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS!

Pictures show it to the right of a Lee 255 gr RNFP

It is 250 grains and must be coated as there are no lube grooves. Weight could be lower as long a nose matches

Lube grooves or not either would be fine as long as nose matches. I powder coat so grooves are optional

from the pics you can see it has a different radius and smaller meplat

Take a look at RIM ROCK bullets 200 RNFP, https://rimrockbullets.com/xcart/cowboy-cast-lead-bullets#pageId=3

They may send you some samples to try, it they won't, I can.

lyman/ideal 454190 might work

Looks like a 454190 with no lube grooves. Have to take a look when I get home from work.

Accurate could make a mould for you. As long as Tom knows the weight, diameter, meplat diameter and length of nose I am sure he could draw that up and cut a perfect mould for you.

Take measurements, ogive radii, meplat width and look at Accurate or NOE diags.

turns out Accurate has the 45-250D which is a clone of the Lyman 454190 but it can be had in .452

thanks to all who steered me to accurate
