    45 super mold

    Looking to get a mold for loading 45 Super 255 flat nose. Anyone out there that knows of molds that cast a bullet similar to the buffalo bore 255gr., that feeds reliably in a 45acp/45 Super.

    I would bet the Lee 255 RF would feed fine, as it does in any .45 ACP I've shot it in. GF

    Accurate 45 260c




    Oh, oops, didn't see that you want the buffalo bore bullet. Hmm that's a magma mold I think.

    If this one feeds, it will work. I like the wide meplat.

    Do I understand correctly. 45 super cases are the same dimensions as .45 acp?
    QUIS CUSTODIET IPSOS CUSTODES?

    The same outside dimensions, but 45 Super cases are thicker.

    It feeds in a Glock 21 with OEM or aftermarket barrel. Not sure what you're working with though.

    This one works too with the solid nose pin in it, I just looked and he doesn't have any left though.




    Mine cast 249.5gr

    Maybe you could find another, I dunno.

    Would you be willing to sell a few of these, so I could experiment with them to see if I can get them to feed in a 1911?

    I won't sell them to you. I'll give some to you though. Pm me an address. I have some already cast, but I size them .4515-4517, is that ok?

    That looks like a great bullet for the Super....

    I use the Lyman/Keith 452423 that casts 250 grains in WWs. Surprisingly no difficulty feeding in Colt unsupported barrels...

    My 45 Super feeds all profiles!



    Yes, I know, quit being a smart Alec.

    Knowledge I take to my grave is wasted.

    I prefer to use cartridges born before I was.

    Success doesn't make me happy, being happy is what allows me to be successful.
