I am looking for something with a larger meplat than my other 45cal boolit molds.
I am thinking about the 4 cavity version.
it is my favorite mould.
45 colt, 45 A.R.even the acp's like it.
leverguns and revolvers..
it holds a good amount of lube has a nice square base, crimp groove is in the right position.
it goes just a titch over 1.610 if needed.
i also like it for hunting.
i wish there was a superclose 44 equivelant.
did i mention i like this mold.
thanks ed.
gonna go look for a 4 cav of that 44 mold.
and check out the noe too, i have one of al's molds and like it.
for an aluminum, it's as good as my walt made nei's.
Hopefully it will cast large enough for you.
I have used the Lyman 452664 a good deal in my .45 Colt Vaquero with black powder and pyrodex.
It has done extremely well when lubed with my home made Emmert's lube. I can shoot 75 rounds of black powder before the cylinder starts getting "sluggish" and requires cleaning and lubing. Cleaning and lubing takes maybe ten minutes (or less) and I am ready for another 75 rounds.
It appears that the number of shots you can get with black when using a revolver is revolver dependent (after you learn to properly cast and load with black powder).
My Vaquero has been a champ with that bullet and black (as well as Pyrodex).

I have two of the Lyman four cavity 452664 45-250-FPBB and both drop 250 grains +/- one grain with my alloy from all eight cavities and size perfectly to .452.
How's that hope and change working for you?

Expatriate, in my own country.
i started at 4 grs titegroup but went to 5 grs of unique and worked up seating out as far as i could get them to go in the 1911's.
i like it in the 625 with the ar cases, makes a nice old time 45 colt equivelant load in a smaller easier to load package.
with the moon clips in acp cases for round the house.
