Some of my .45 Bullet Moulds



From left to right:
1. Lyman #457124 385gn,
2. Lee 457-450,
3. J�mtt�ngen 458-450gn,
4. Lyman #457121 497gn,
5. Johan Karlsson 451-501gn, (Home Lathe bored by my self)
6. Lee 458-500-3R,
7. Johan Kalsson 450-538gn Paper Patch, copy of Original Metford Long Range (Home Lathe bored by my self)
8. Lyman #457125 525gn,
9. Lyman #457132 Postell 540gn

Not a bad collection of big thumpers. What gun do you shoot them out of?

I am impressed by your work. Looks just as good as Lyman's or Lee's, if not better.

#5 looks plain mean.

That long Lyman #457121 is one I've long thought I'd like to have a mould for. They also used to catalog a gas check bullet of similar design at somewhere around 445 grains, I think.

Maybe not so good picture but...


The .450"-.451" Bullets are shoot in my Gibbs-Metford replica. Bullet #5 is the current load.

The larger .457"-.458" ones are shot thru my Pedesoli 45-70 Remington Rolling Block. Bullet #8 is the current load.

I've been lathe booring my own moulds for more than 10 years now, If I'd have more time I would do more moulds for my own experiments.
