#1 = .35 Remington
#2 = .45 ACP
#3 = .45-70
34 = .45 Colt

That would be my guess for what they are intended for.

The Lyman 358315 is what I use (along with the RCBS 35-200-RF) for my 35 Whelen...

Hey Echo.. do you know if # 2 ( 90493 ) can be used for other .45 cal. ( like .45 colt ) or just .45acp .

Depending on the diameter it drops, and the diameter your .45 Colt needs, a 215 grain should do just fine. I would use data for a similar profile 225-230 grain boolit to account for the hollowpoint. It will probably shoot lower than the more standard weighted boolits your sights are regulated for.

# 4- LEE # 90469 sc .454 dia. 298gr. M ??

This would be a heavy 45 long colt, OR a 454 Casull mold. It could be used for either, and probably quite well for both.
