Sorry
Mike

If your alloy matches your pressure/velocity, boolit is sized properly, and you are using a good lube, should not be an issue.
I was a chicken and went with all GC molds for my 460. GC ads one more...

I have two LBT pistol molds and saving up to get several rifle molds. They are my favorite molds, hands down. As said before follow Veral's directions on boolit selection and dimentions and you...

Mine slugged at .457 so boolits get sized to .458 and they shoot great.

I have a 39M, funnest little rifle I own, you will really enjoy it.

In my experience with the 460, I agree with Whitworth, "there is a point of diminishing returns"
I have found that the 360-400gr is more than enough for anything on this side of the planet. Figure...

forgot to mention, when I got to the heavier boolits the old trusty RCBS dies did not provide the proper/enough crimp to hold the boolits from jumping crimp. I picked up a Redding Profile crimp die...

have had really good luck with Hodgdon Benchmark, clean burning, very accurate and min book load will give you anything you ever need with a 420gr boolit.
Being one of thier extream powders you dont...

Caster Blaster, sorry I must have missed your post. I work goofy hours and sometimes dont get on here for days. I did not have much luck sizing the .457/.458 stuff down, so I broke down and had a...

molds that are working well for me are:
Lyman 452651, drops about 320gr and pretty accurate out to 100yrds and you can get 18-1900fps out of it if you want something fast.
broke down and orderd two...

LBT mold came in and I am quite pleased. With GC and lube it is 416grs. Looking for around 1600fps which should be plenty under max, but plenty for anything I would want it for. The 395grs boolits...

I have not loaded for 45-70 pistol however; for my rifle I use only Benchmark due to temp changes up here. It is one of hodgdon's extream powders and over a crony, winter or summer I dont get hardly...

Well after reading all the posts about WFN/WLN and such, and the performance of the Corbon (store bought), once again this place has caused me to buy something. :mrgreen:
Ordered a LBT mold today...

Well as I suspected the crono did not want to play in the cold, but still had a really good time. I neglected to take any paper targets as space on my sled was limited (ok, I forgot) anyhow ended up...

Thanks ,really looking forward to shooting this thing. Could not stand having a new mould and pistola so cooked up a handfull tonight to try out this weekend. The mould lists as 325gr but naked WW...

Thanks never thought of that, doesnt smear lead into the lube groves sizing down .004??

I really dont know what happened, must have been some type of majic potion used on me? I was just browsing and enjoying the sights of all the shinny pistols next thing I knew I was the owner of a...

RCBS 45-405, most accurate that i have found.

I have them on my 39M and love them.
Mike

You will really enjoy that little rifle, they are a hoot to shoot and just kick around the woods with. It is almost comical to shoot really light loaded 38spc loads, you can almost watch the round...

Handloader, August 2007??
If I remember correctly there was an article about 45-70 loads for Africa. Will try and dig through my pile and find it.
Mike

I have used the 45-500 and works really well. It is the same boolit as the 45-405 but longer..
Mike

Just north of us about 30 miles, no damage here other than stuff fell off the shelfs. It did seam to last a long time.
