All good things take time. I have been trying to get this one started for a while now. We currently have the 453490 PB going full steam about to close as soon as I hear Miha has the cherry. This buy will stay open for SIX weeks AFTER they invoices go out on the last 45 caliber buy so everybody should have a chance to get in on both buys.
There is alot to like about this bullet. First, it drops at .455" which is very important for all those 45s out there with oversize cylinder throats not to mention the .455 Webleys and such. My personal Colt 1917 needs a oversized .45 caliber bullet. I bet yours does too. Now, the second thing is the nose to crimp on this bullet is a whopping .468" which puts a great deal of this bullet outside of the case. In the case of the older guns, this isn't so you can red line your ancient war relic but instead so you can reach safe velocity at lower pressures. You Colt SAA or Smith 25 needs a .455" bullet but this one is too long? Well, you can try Schofield cases or crimping over the shoulder. If you have a bull strong Ruger 45 this one should allow you plenty of room for powder for stout loads. I personally think a six pack of ACP cases in a full moon clip with a half dozen 45 Ohaus 250 grain HPs loaded up and tightly crimped in place would look all business like from the muzzle end.
As always these are Miha's beautiful brass molds 2 or 4 cavity. Plain base. Hollow point pins to updated but a Large, medium and solid for sure. I need to go find mine and look inside. To sign up I need your disguised email (so no SPAMBOT hacks your account) and mold preference like this please:

As always BobK has something to help us visualize what we have going on here:
And of course here is the 45 Ohaus bullet.
