You are correct, the 45 is a MP copy of the RCBS SAA. It is a heavy bullet designed by Dave Scovill if memory serves for the Colt SAA. I sent him several of these sized .454" years ago for an article in Handloader Magazine. And while there are other bullets that may claim best overall bullet for the 45 Colt, I believe this one is good as any. And at risk of speaking for Mr. Keith, I believe he would approve.
Yes LAH, quite a thumper ! Doesn't feed too well in my 45 Colt lever guns, but nice boolet in Smith 25 and a real hammer in Taurus 454.
Cogno, Ergo, Boom
If you're gonna be stupid, don't pull up short. Saddle up and ride it all the way in.
This is the 41 Keith at 230 grains. Walt Melander cut the mould for my Master Caster before he passed. The 41 guys loved this bullet.
