You want 45 250d. This is a copy of the Lyman 454190. You can design as fits your needs and they make up to a 5 cavity. You can have the bullet drop .454 .

A 4 cavity aluminum block is $128.00 plus shipping. Several choices on block material. ( aluminum, brass, or iron)

BTW this is my favorite bullet for general use in Colt SAA's.

My old Lyman 2 cav 454190 throws them at .459", I think for a 4 or 6 cav, you will have to have it built. As for the Lee, I bet they would send you another one if it was under size, they have excellent customer service and it will cost a fraction of a custom.

Midway shown for reference above, better pricing is available on the 'net if that's the way you want to go. Accurate Molds are available in 4 or 5 cavities for this.

Veral has an excellent design for the 45 Colt, see his description here:

www.go2gbo.com/forums/ask-veral-smith-of-lbt-qa/new-large-caliber-handgun-bullet-especially-45-colt/

My mold is a 4-cav that casts 0.453in and 248gr (WW + 2% tin). Veral will of course make a mold to your specs. This bullet is very accurate in my Ruger Bisley 45 Colt using 9.0gr of PP.

As with all LBT molds, this one is a joy to cast with.

Thanks everyone. I ordered a 5 cavity accurate mold today. Specifically a 45-250B.

Bill, that is a nice bullet Veral made. Makes me think hard about starting to cast. That bullet powder coated would be a winner.

You have got to start casting. It opens so many doors it boggles the imagination. I never would have gotten the .257 Jackrabbit off it's knees without casting....

Fermin, I agree on the doors it would open. I just find time is the limiting factor for me. I'm shooting 200 rounds a week and have been buying in bulk from Bayou. Nothing fancy just the coated 250gr RNFP. How many rounds do you think could be cast in a single hour and a half session? I'd then need to size and powder coat. I've been thinking about it it would be slightly less expensive than my bulk purchases since I don't have a source of free lead. I might continue to buy the bulk for my weekly shooting and cast for my hunting and specialty bullets. Not sure at this point.

Let me say it this way. You can run two 6 cavity molds and drain a 20 lb lead pot in no time flat. Whenever I do that, I have to have a separate pot running so the 1st pot can keep up.
