    Accurate 452 300gr

    Just got in an Accurate .452 double cav. mold. Rated at 297grs. Using scrap WW, they drop from the mold right at 300grs, .4535 to .454 dia. Very consistent. Once I got acquainted with the mold as to the temp it like , & cadence , it was wonderful. Went thru a pot full of alloy quickly. A real joy to use. Pictures show bullets right after casting ,& then after powder coating. They showed a BHN of 11.5. After a couple of days they will cure to about 13.5 to 14 BHN. Ran some thru my Ruger Blackhawk 4 5/8" Bbl 45 Colt using a load of Unique for about 750 fps. Then upped it a bit more for around 1000 fps. Over my make shift rest, kneeling, I was able to maintain about a 2" group. Once they harden up I will try again. So far extremely satisfied
    Pictures show bullets right after casting & then after powder coating. The PC may look strange to you because of the mixture of colors I use. It appears pebbly, but is very smooth. An optical illusion.

    They have a short rounded nose that will work in a rifle as well as a revolver.
