WHERE CAN I GET SOME, PREFERABLY COATED, OR SOMETHING SIMILAR? BEEN LOOKING BUT HAVE NOT FOUND A SOURCE YET.
I HAVE A BUNCH OF 45 AR BRASS AND A FEW REVOLVERS FOR IT, WANT TO START RELOADING FOR IT.

Rey, I use the Matt's Wadcutters. They're 250 grn but seat very shallow and are ideal for the Auto Rim.
I request Matt make the from the Hardened Alloy @ 18 and coat them.
Hope this helps, Huey

Rey, try those 270gr SWC we got from Dick,…..or some 250xtp’s. They shoot great from my 1917 right at 800-830fps.

I like the 230gr version of the 452490 with the gas check reamed out to plain base. It shouldn't have been a gas check design to begin with and could only possibly need one with the Rowland.

I have a LBT 451 240 LFN mold. For some reason they came out weighing almost 270 grains when I made them. I never tried shooting any yet. I could cast them in a different alloy and powder coat them if your interested in trying them.  |

What mold did Miha make a mold for a long/heavy .45 bullet?
I know he did cause I cast a bunch and loaded about a dozen in .45 Colt brass and they’re too long for everything but a long cylinder 5 shot gun…
I’ll see if I can figure it out tomorrow..

I believe they were a 300 some grain hollow point called For Ruger Only. I have the mold. I shoot them from my 450 Bushmaster. The are entirely too big for the 45 AR. |

It is the Ruger only. Designed for the Redhawk is my understanding.
