Good evening everyone. be gentle im a virgin when it comes to casting. I have been reloading for 30 years. just never cast my own. The first I want to cast for is 45 Colt. I have the Henry Bigboy X, and a Ruger Vaquero. I'm looking for the best cast Boolit that will work in both. I have been looking at the Lee .452 300gr mold. I know from reading the forums here there are a lot better molds out there. but as I am just beginning this journey I wanted to start off simple. Im trying to get away from store bought jacketed bullets. and the current selection I can find as loaded rounds are 400gr bear loads. they shoot fine in both my guns accuracy wise. but they seem to be too long to cycle properly in my Henry. Why i was looking at the 300gr cast.
main question is anyone have any experience with the Henry bigboy X and 300gr cast from the LEE mold. did they cycle properly. i will be also trying my hand at PC'ing them also. the mold part number is C452-300RN. I have not purchased the mold yet. but its about the only thing available i cant find in the 300gr.
I am open to suggestions on other grain molds also that would work well in my two guns. I mainly use this rifle as a truck gun for Hogs.
Thanks in advance for any advice and knowledge yall want to share.
