Anyone here used Saeco #265, the bevel based .45 round nosed 210 grain?
How did it work out?

I've had this mould for at least thirty years. Decent accuracy, but nothing really spectacular, about the same as the far more popular Lyman #452374. I've tried it with Bullseye, AA#7, 231, 452AA, Unique, 800X, Herco, Blue Dot, and HS-6. According to my notes, Bullseye and Unique loaded to a velocity of around 850 fps provided best accuracy with ww alloy bullets sized .452". My bullets averaged about 216 grs. A minor inconvenience for me and perhaps others, the #265 has a bevel base design.
