They have their usefulness. When you purchase your first MP mold or Accurate mold, you’ll not look back.

My casting world changed when I bought a PID. My bullets are so consistent now. I can regulate my mold temperature as well as have a visual tossing spruces back in and cooling the mold off at times....
I have an Arsenal Mold for the HG 68 clone that shoots better than I can. I am waiting on an Accurate mold for the HG 130 clone. Both will be shot traditional lube and coated to decide accuracy...
Yes, I do. It is a hand fitted EGW. My purpose was two fold with it. One, in combination with the heavier main spring, to apply spring tension to the rearward thrust of the slide at its initial and...

Lyman 452424 (240), Saeco 058 (215) , Lyman 452423 (230) will all do the trick your decision on how heavy. I just started a thread on the LBT type designs in the 230 gr ball park from Accurate molds....

Both bullets are compelling to me since my direction in powder coating. My question is has anyone experimented with either in the 1911. Overall length is slightly different with one have a longer LBT...
That pistol is no longer with me. It could not withstand the Rowland pressure levels. I utilize a Kimber Aegis Elite modified to accomplish the task now. A 9.5 gr 800x load behind that bullet with a...
Favorite 45 mold is Lee 230 gr TC non TL
Favorite 45 Super Saeco 058
Enjoy the 185 gr Lyman devastator hollow point
Have an old Lyman Ideal 452423 with square live groove
Just bought one--awaiting arrival. I have shot the 452423 with the square groove with great success and absolutely love Lee's 230 gr TC traditional grease groove bullet. This Saeco mold has been on...
I prefer 8.5 gr of Imr 800x behind Lyman 452423. Great boolit
Saeco 058 is the cats *** in the ACP. I use many configurations up to and past Rowland level performance. The Saeco 058 has a large Meplats and does not consume powder space as much as other designs....

It’s not always the mag or the ramp. One commonly overlooked area is the extractor. If it has a proper bevel And does not clock due to sloppiness , more than likely It will feed. If not—depending on...
One of the greatest bullet designs ever! I taper crimp it just behind the front driving bands leading edge. Loaded very hot with IMR 800x at 8.5 gr with a CCI LP primer. I coat with Eastwood’s light...

I run that bullet taper crimped just behind the leading edge of the front driving band. My load is 8.5 gr IMR 800x with a CCI LP primer. It is stout and not pressure tested. I use a 20lb spring and...
Two loads for this puppy—9 gr IMR 800x and 7.5 gr Unique. Both propel it at 1010 FPS avg with extreme spreads of 10fps. I am tickled pink. What a mold and what a bullet for the ACP.
First time...
My favorite load with either the 250 gr RNFP or the 255 SWC is 6 grains of IMR 800x and CCI primers. The 1911 with good chamber support can do much more, but moderate velocities will more than likely...

An absolute and underappreciated classic rifle right there.

I have 2 67A's---both shot the daylights out. My last purchase was a Glock 40 MOS. Sweet machine---no longer stock--KKM barrel, Suarez trigger, Gen 3 recoil system, Vortex Viper sight. That 10 ragged...
I have yet to find a cartridge I have not liked. My least favorite cartridge that I no longer own is the 40SW. Can't find a real reason for its existence other than to say we have a 40 cal in a 9...

Thanks for the reply
I'm kicking around starting the furnace back up and rolling my own with a Saeco mold but am stuck on the choice between the 058 and a 225 TC design for hunting.

You can officially be crowned the winner. Best living room set I have ever seen. You wife should be proud of your help in dressing up the living room.
Montana bullets offers that very Saeco 58 bullet and I am all over it with 800X. Kimber Aegis Elite----I will post when game has been taken--may be a while as season is over in West Virtucky. Seems...
