RCBS .45-255-SWC You may have to lap the mould to get it to that dia. The other one is the Lyman #454190. Throw them in a pan(old Ford truck hubcap) pour your alox in let it harden punch them out.
I'll let you figure out what the part numbers are for these. RCBS numbers confuse me a little. I dont know how many numbers to type.lol They also have .455 Webley bullets on this site.

US Govt mantra: If it's moving tax it. If it's still moving regulate it. If it stops moving subsidize it
Should be a simple matter to lap one of the Lee tumble lube molds to a larger diameter, you're only looking at .002" over the listed mold size. All you need is a drill, some wood or sheetrock screws, fine lapping compound, and some bullets cast from that mold.
A lot of them are oversize to start with anyway, you may not have to lap at all.
i bought 3 different LEE molds and a member here has the time ,space ,and inclination to make me some bullets
i went with
300 gr. 452
255gr.452
t.l. 230gr. 452
he gets to keep the molds and i get some bullets.
sounds fair to me!
i can gas check those 300's so i can use them in my 454casull.
those jacketed bullets will put a man in the poorhouse...
