Everybody has their druthers....
Idruther have (this)...
Or Idruther have (that)...
Idruther stay close to what the 45 ACP was designed for, 230g ball ammo. :Bright idea:
So my first mold was the 452-230-2R
Which came out of the box and into a drill press vice to make a HP mold out of it.
It's a 2 cavity, and makes fine bullets.
But I longed for faster production, so I got a more conventional style in a 6 cavity mold. 452-228-1R
Now it is noteworthy that both of theses I feed with a bottom pour 20 pound Lee Production Furnace.
The two cav rolls along and drops those TL bullets fine.
But that 6 cav... That is a lead drinking monster when it begins to roll!
So if you plan to ladle along and enjoy, I think I would recommend a two or 3 cav mold.
But if you need some volume for lots of range time, I think you want bigger and faster equipment.
One day I got in a "Zone" and just rolled along with the 6 cav. In about 5-6 hours I had a huge amount of 45 ACP bullets. 28.8 pounds.
Most of a coffee container full.
So choose carefully, or you may be choosing twice. [smilie=1:
