Looks like the 452374 is a keeper

I picked this mold up at the last gunshow. It was in very good shape and I paid $49.00 for it (and I thought it was a little high) Cast some WW and loaaded them with 4.5 gr of Bullseye and took my wife shooting today (They were for her gun.

no malfunctions or leading and her best group at 20 yards.

I couldn't be outdone by her so I used my BFR and store bought 259 grainners, but my group was a little larger.:oops:

Pretty darn hard to beat as a top choice for the old M1911A1 series./beagle

You have once again verified that 452374 is a really great boolit for the 1911 platform.

Good to see it still perfoming consistently. Pretty good shooting, too!

I can't imagine this bullet NOT being a keeper.

I was interested to read in the old Ideal No. 34 loading manual that this mould was developed by Lincoln Riley of Wisner, Nebraska. Kinda proud a fellow Nebraskan ginned up a great mould design like that, which is an alltime classic and the one most likely to work in any 45 automatic.

Mr. Riley was a doctor living in that town, and was in his 70's in the early years of the Great Depression.
