This question may have been asked before and I don't want to rehash old business, so if anybody knows of such a post or info that's already been done......please be so kind as to point me in the right direction.
My question is as follows.
I have the MP .452 mold that casts 200gr. Hex and Reg. HP's, and also 215gr. Solids Cramer Style. I bought this mold with the intention of loading for 45 ACP, which works very well, but I'm also wondering if it will work just as well for 45 Long Colt, and possibly 454 Casull?
Maybe that's asking too much from one bullet mold, but my next question is how do you know what calibers take what size cast bullet?
I mean when it comes right down to the 45 caliber pistol rounds it could be the difference of just .001 or .002 thousandths that's the difference in a good non-leading load, and one that smears the **** out of the inside of the barrel and loads up the riflings with lead.
I know the 45 Colt takes a .452 jacketed bullet, but what about cast?
Same with the 454 Casull and the question even came up with the 460.
Are they all capable of shooting the same .452 boolit from my MP mold?
If anyone knows of a chart or list of calibers and boolit sizes that each one takes, please post a link or something for me to look at.
I'm sure at some point, somebody has sat down and made up such a chart........but I have yet to find it.
Thanks in advance for the help.
