Picked up a #454190 DC a few weeks ago, hadn’t gotten around to trying it out until last night. It casts beautiful boolits, I was curious if it would drop large enough to size .455, which is the cylinder throat diameter of my .45 Colt. I was mildly surprised to find out it drops at .459-.460, weighing 262-grains, using the alloy-in-the-pot. Not a problem sizing to .455, the lube grooves are deep and wide enough.
I got to thinkin’ (I know, I shouldn’t do that) this morning that, at that diameter, it might make a good low-recoil, plinkin’ boolit for my .45-70 Handi-Rifle. What y’all think? Anybody tried that?
