Lyman Devastator?

[Burnt Fingers]

A mold I'd like to see would be a copy of the 45 ACP Lyman Devastator boolit in a multi-cavity mold. A copy of the 9mm mold would be great too.

No existing mold I've seen has the huge hollow point of that 45 ACP Devastator.

Those are the ones.

Those are the ones.

I've got that one in 9mm. Are you interested in it?

[Good Cheer]

Lyman's old #452484 gas checked version of the .45 hardball round nose becomes a humdinger of a splat boolit when Erik at hollowpointmold.com turns it into a wide mouthed hollow pointed WFN. Any how, that was the route I explored. Because it has the perfect exterior contour there's little chance of not feeding and the gas check helps a little if you want to go extra goofy soft on your alloy. I like having enough mass to keep on pushing through after the boolit turns into a drag chute.

I actually have two of the 9mm molds myself.

I'd like to have them in a multi-cavity setup.

Those Lyman molds are SLOW casting.

I will have Bob draw them up. If he hasn’t already and run them. Exact clones correct? Same in 40 as well?

[Burnt Fingers]

That would be great.

[who]

.40cal or 10mm would be nice.

[bowfin]

I would be interested in the .40, .45, or 9mm.

[Wasalmonslayer]

Is Bob drawing this or do you guys need an assist to get her rollin?

[Burnt Fingers]

I don't know if Bob is drawing it or not.

If not we could use and assist.

My drawing skills are VERY limited. I can draw a straight line with a straight edge about 30% of the time.

[Wasalmonslayer]

Let me know I can assist if needed.

I would be in for one in each caliber as well.
Have a couple “homemade” hp that are like a flying ash tray they make a nice mess of vermin

[Burnt Fingers]

Those Devastator molds are flying ash trays. Just really slow to pour.

If boolits are needed for measurements I can supply the 45 and 9mm.

If this gets going I'm in for one of each caliber, 9mm, 10mm, and 45.

can someone explain the difference between the 452374 HP and this? (a 452-640, I think?)

The 452374 is the Lyman version of the round nose 230 ball round. The 452 460 is lymans SWC design that weights in around 200 grains.

The 452374 is what the 45 Devastator is made out of with a huge hp added.

The link you posted in MP mold 200 grain flat nose hp design.
It shoots just as good as the others you mentioned from Lyman maybe better in some instances.

Hope that helps

[Burnt Fingers]

Wasalmonslayer got it right.

I have that MP mold. The hollow point is much smaller than the Devastator hollow point.

[thraxx]

Thanks for the clarification, WS!

I own one as well, If the HP on the devastator is larger, then, wow. just wow.

[bronte454]

I would love a 3-4 cavity MP-mold with HP pins . I would be more inclined if it would drop a little heavier say 135 grains with the penta HP maybe 130 range with large HP .
