Mold was waiting for me upon return from vacation. Have not used it yet however the craftsmanship is outstanding!

Thanks Jim for carrying the torch & NOE for a fine job.

OK, thanks. I just sent him a PM.

I recieved my mould a couple of days ago. It is beautiful piece of crafstmanship. I have a question to ask of the group. I have casted large .45 rifle bullets for years in single cavity iron blocks for BPCR. This is my first venture with an aluminum mould with 4 cavities. My first attempt produced wrinkled bullets -- temp to low. I cranked up the pot the next night and the bullets filled out but with fins-- 850 Degrees. I am casting lead/tin at approximately 15:1. What temp would you guys start at with this mould.

Thanks

Your on the right track.
I run mine at about 750 to 800.
800 unless I start to get frosted
then I back down to 750.

Fins on the nose or down on the bands?
Just curious.

Swede Nelson

**parkergunz** · 10-15-2009, 09:57 AM

On the nose.

Have had them in the same place on
my mould when I start to run it to hot.
Cut your temp back 50 deg and see if
that helps.

I enjoy sizing a round bullet.
I have to smile every time I run this
one.

And it works great in my 625 S&W.

Fun just gets funner.

Swede;
What cartridge is your 625? I have two .45 ACP 625's that are my two most used handguns. I plan on shooting my 454424 in these guns on occasion as well as my .45 Colts.

**Dale53** · 10-18-2009, 12:40 AM

I talked to Swede today and he is shooting a 625 (.45 ACP) with this bullet and states the accuracy is EXCELLENT.

That is REALLY good news.

I'm a happy man. I took delivery of my new Ruger SS (5½") Bisley .45 Colt/.45 Convertible and it should be a perfect vehicle for my new 454424 bullet.

Thank you, Swede and Jim - BIG TIME!
