    Best or favorite 452/454 heavy molds

    I picked up a 454 Rossi 92R. I have a few heavy 45colt Moulds, so I think I'm pretty well set. But I wondered if there was something I might be missing that might be better.

    I have the Lee 452–300 RF, RCBS 45–300 SWC & 270 saa, Lyman 452651, MP 454–304. I think this MP is a copy of the Seco number 454 but I'm not sure. I also have the MP Ruger only 452–297 mold.

    Do you have a favorite?
    Can you recommend a different mold?

    Just wondering.....My Henry lever-action rifles in 44 and .357 wont feed any SWC's with sharp edges. They like RNFP's bullets.

    Have you checked SWC bullets in your Rossi to see if they feed?

    I have a Winchester 94AE .44 magnum that will feed anything I put in it, but my Henry's are picky about bullet shape and cartridge length.

    My design for a "heavy" .45 bullet I use in the .455, .45 Auto Rim and .45 Colt:
