    I’d like to see a large, single lube groove as VS suggested.

    I agree with one large lube groove.

    I'm not experienced with black powder. The only black powder arms that I have are the ROA and a Lyman Great Plains. I have no problem with the last design. The designs that 45 2.1 has put forward over the years have been widely accepted. But, if the decision is to make the lube groove larger, I have no problem with that either.

    One question: Can the .457 boolit be sized to .454? I don't have a clone(never say never) but .0015 less depth of lube groove seems doable if I can accept that it is a compromise.

    I am in for the original and/or the current designed proposal. Switching to the Dick Dastardly big lube bullet single lube bullet will probably put me out. I would have to see it first.

    I had some of the very first of his designs and the center post would compress. Later they were made larger but with your design and a hollow base that may become an issue.

    The Dick Dastardly big lube bullet was mostly geared towards the cowboy shooter were accuracy requirements are very low. I have some of the later designs and not impressed with how they shoot.

    Dick is a member but has not been on here since 2017.

    http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...e-(tm)-Bullets

    When you design a better mouse trap the world will beat a path to your door. The DD Big Lube designs have been around for a very long time yet they remain a rarity.

    The original 45 Colt bullet worked very well with BP and it had relatively small lube grooves. Pic on post #21 below.

    http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...iginal-45-Colt

    The Lyman #452664 is a single lube design that works well with BP but so does the 454190.

    https://dailycaller.com/2015/04/24/t...nic-cartridge/

    On a side note the 454190 holds enough lube to site get a lube star on my 24" lever guns. For a 7 1/2" ROA I don't see a lack of lube being an issue with the current design.

    Knowing how many very successful boolits 45 2.1 designed, I felt the same, so I asked him for help, and he provided this design.

    As for sizing boolit down from .457" to .454", it could be done. However, bottom portion .451" will not be affected, and if chambers are .450", boolit will not slide inside. That will make much more difficult to position/align it properly, and because of the boolit AOL, loading and ramming will have to be done on the bench, using one of those presses:



    Well, removing cylinder from revolver for reloading is something I wanted to avoid.

    I already use a press like the one you pictured for the ROA. Not sure what is involved in removing the cylinder from some of the clones but it may not be a concern since I may never obtain a clone.

    FWIW I shoot CAS shoots with BP cartridges at least once a month, sometimes 3, for the last 8 years. I use mostly Big Lube bullets or some designs of my own, that hold about as much lube. For pistols the lube requirements are not nearly as important as in a rifle, so one large or 2 smaller lube grooves should be fine. Glad to see the smaller, longer rebate for those of us who shoot Piettas/Ubertis. I have the Dick Dastardly Big Lube version and it just didn't load straight without out a lot of extra work, and never worked loading on the gun. Even though I don't own an ROA I would personally go with the .457 version, as with soft cast it shouldn't be a problem seating the bullet, and make for a better seal.
    I'm in for single or double lube groove as long as the base is .450. And either 2 or 4 cavity, whichever one gets made.

    Maybe I missed it, but didn’t see what material the moulds are to be made of.

    Also, width of grease grooves is more important than depth. With deep grooves some lube risks not being used. Is the total width of the two grooves added together more or less than the single groove? If it is more, two grooves could be better. If it is less than a single groove is better.

    It would be good to get a guarantee that handles are available with the moulds, if you want them. In the past they have been out of stock when I wanted to buy a stock mould.

    Miha, MP-Molds https://www.mp-molds.com/ so it would be brass or aluminum. With the hollow base it might be brass only.

Since DD is a member I am trying to not disparage but the last thing I want is more big lube designs clones that shoot marginal at best.

    For the people saying the two groove design doesn't carry enough lube explain to me why the original 45 Colt bullets worked so well if they didn't carry enough lube????? Same for the various 454190 designs???? They even hold enough lube for my 24" lever guns and BP.

    They tested some originals here in a 24" barrel.

    1. What bullets have your shot in a 7 1/2 or less barrel that didn't hold enough lube?

    2. Have you shot the DD Big Lube bullets?

    3. Did you have alignment issues with the overly large single groove?

    I want a design that works with pure lead. Not 20-1 or a harder alloy.

    Some highlights from an older thread.

Even with WW metal the concept is that there would be some minor compression to help force lube to be pressurized (probably folly). I have used WW alloy, Lyman 2 and Lyman 2 cut with lead to get half of Lyman 2. All wonderful in revolver and rifle (rifle being the actual mother of invention). I have cast pure lead in the version for the Ruger cap and ball revolver and no problem with accuracy, but you sure have to gentle in reloading and handling of the boolits -- way soft. Dick has probably shot the 38/40 or knows customers who have and who could advise you..

When I switched to my other selection of range scrap, cast boolits made of wheel weights and Linotype, they shot just as well or better than the 42798, with more shots between cleanings. I think there is some potential with this design for slumping or other distortion upon firing, if the boolit is too soft.

    If you get the BHN up to 9 or so, you should do fine.

The 45 Colt really had no original era bullet really suitable for level rifle as the great 454190 was bit on the pointy side for tube magazine. Swiss and Shuetzen maybe some forms of more recent Goex seem to shoot with softer/moister fouling, but the big lube design still shoots cooler and longer (infinitely so far as I know) at fast paces. They are messy in single action six shooters like my Rugers, but the pistols shoot so cool that I put up with it and simply wipe the grips now and then. There have been some rehashing of the designs to get better long range function, but not by me, Jack Christian and John Boy got into that. A pard by the name of Snakebite did the .357 version and it is a honey for function in 357mag chambered lever guns using 38SPL brass. Mav Dutchman had Lee do the 44/40 version. Dick Dastardly went plumb nuts doing other versions. There is a shorter .452" version too, done by a couple of fellows; Johnston and Peterson IIRC. It is good to have choices! I have never sold molds, so I have no fiscal tie to any of it.

    Now I need to find a good lube recipe to fill those huge lube grooves, something that will stay there and not leak in the powder long term. Beeswax and something else I guess. I don't think we have Crisco here in France, some equivalent maybe.. We sure have bees though!

    If only lead hardness testing gizmos weren't so expensive!

    I can't wait to get that .38-40 SAA next week!

    Please let me know what do you think.
    I am in for one of these. Not interested in the single lube design. I already have the DD version I don't use since there are better options. Also not interested in a bullet that has excess lube capacity even for 30" barrels.

    What I am looking for is a maximum accuracy design specifically for ROA for hunting.

    The problems I have is when shooting a black powder revolver and the cylinder starts binding up after 18 rounds because of fouling . I have used the 454-190, Lee 250, rcbs 45-230, and the big lube style bullets.
    The big lube style bullets were the best at keeping fouling soft.

    Plus the one big lube groove is easier to size and lube in a Lyman 450, compared to the 2 lube groove design.

    So most of them are out of cartridge guns?

    Don't disagree that for cowboy action over greased helps but it also turns them into a dirty mess. This bullet is specifically designed for C&B revolvers. They are not intend to be sized.

    When shooting a C&B revolvers I keep a spritz bottle with moose's milk and a wiping rag to deal with the cylinder fouling.

    Are you shooting any C&B revolvers or just BP in cartridge guns?

    I am not that serious about cowboy action and I have only shot a 4 different clubs over the years. I have only seen a couple of shooters using C&B in the Frontiersman class. Both of them were using paper cartridges.

    Looks like there is no big interest for latest design in the first post.

    Well, because in this corona time I had nothing else to do, here is another try. Since Miha from MP-Molds https://www.mp-molds.com can make molds with different diameters using same cutter, I designed bullet for ROA in a such way that with reduced dia could be used also to make mold for cal. 44 Italian clones:



    As you could see, when all 3 grooves are combined, they are almost .160", not far behind BIG LUBE, that has about .180", see http://www.biglube.com/BulletMolds.a...9-68ebfdaba982.
    I think that this is more than enough for revolver.

    Let me know what do you think.

    The original first design was almost perfect except the rebated area is longer than needed. I believe that can be seen in post #17.

    Please let me know what do you think.

    Traditional designs that have withstood the test of time over the past 160 years are still around because they worked. The US Civil war produced great technical advances in firearms, projectiles and cartridges systems. They used what worked. That does not mean this technology can't be improved but what is an improvement?

    Increased accuracy or ease of loading are two attributes that come to mind.

    I really don't care if it's a single grove or double groove but I DO NOT want a design that carries enough lube for a 34" barrel. This bullet is for 7 1/2" barrels or less.

    I also DO NOT WANT a bullet that is mostly all undersize as below. Way to much of the bullet is rebated.

    I also wanted to have this boolit for Remington 1858, Colt, and other clones in same caliber.

    Basic requirements:

    - Weight 250 grains
    - Hollow base (HB), for better accuracy
    - Rebated base (RB), for easier loading
    - Protrusion from the cylinder max. .500", so boolit could be loaded without removing cylinder from the revolver frame
    - Meplat dia .300" max. so it will fit into rammer

    The result of above wishes is boolit 45-250-HBRB-BK (BK stands for 45 2.1 initials):



    Because of slight differences in cylinder chambers between ROA and Remington 1858, Colt, and other clones in the same caliber, proposed are two boolits in two nominal sizes:

    - .457" dia for Ruger Old Army

    - .454" dia for Remington 1858, Colt and other clones normally using .454” dia ball (NOTE: because of smaller diameters, this boolit will have about 246 grains)

    Please make note that diameters without brackets are for Ruger Old Army, and second dimensions in brackets are for Remington 1858, Colt, and other clones. Since I do not have any of those Italian clones, and do not know anybody in my area who has one, please review proposal and let me know if main diameters are OK.

    This mold will be manufactured by Miha, MP-Molds https://www.mp-molds.com/ . We need commitment of at least 25 buyers before production could start. Molds will be available as 4 cavities and 2 cavities. Also, MP-mods offers their mold handles with discount when purchased with molds:

Since Miha from MP-Molds https://www.mp-molds.com can make molds with different diameters using same cutter, I designed bullet for ROA in a such way that with reduced dia could be used also to make mold for cal. 44 Italian clones:



    As you could see, when all 3 grooves are combined, they are almost .160", not far behind BIG LUBE, that has about .180", see http://www.biglube.com/BulletMolds.a...9-68ebfdaba982.
    I think that this is more than enough for revolver.

    Let me know what do you think.
    The rebated area it too long for me to be interested in this. Same for the O-ring groove. I am not interested in using O-ring but it could be viewed as lube groove but that begs to ask the question what's the fascinating with equaling the amount of lube in a bullet design that has fallen flat????????

    The original design pictured design below worked very very well. The Big Lube stuff not so much. I have several of them and I don't use them for a reason. Are todays lube's not as good?

    For the people saying the two groove design doesn't carry enough lube explain to me why the original 45 Colt bullets worked so well if they didn't carry enough lube????? Same for the various 454190 designs???? They even hold enough lube for my 24" lever guns and BP.

    They tested some originals here in a 24" barrel.
