Dose anyone happen to know what bullet mold these https://www.buffaloarms.com/452-250-grain-fn-hand-cast-b-454190-452.html come from? I got 500ish of these unlubed and unsized and I happen to have a gun that shoots these well and I would like to be able to cast them myself rather then buying them.
On a side note I would assume these lack enough lube to use for BP shooting in 45 colt especially out of a rifle.

It looks like the Lyman 454190 which is the same as what they now call 452190 I think.

IIRC- that is a common and very well liked bullet for .45 Colt. I size mine to .452 for my Ruger Blackhawk. There are some .45 Colts that have larger throats (.454).
