tom`Favorite .45ACP SWC Molds?
Thinking of experimenting with some other plinker loads.
Right now I'm using Lee 200s with 5.3g 231.
Any favored 225-230 grain choices?

arkypeteMy favorite 45 acp mold is NEIs 210 grain H&G #68 copy. What shoot the most of is Saecos 200 swc, because I have two 4 cavity molds.
I use 4.5 grains of Bullseye or 4.5 grains of 231 with either of the above.

fredj338If you like the Lee 6cav molds, pretty decent product for the most part, the 230grTC or 228grRN are good bullets. FOr a 200gr, any of the H&G#68 style as by Redding, Lyman & Magma are good.

Swede44magI have a Lyman that looks like my H&G that I lent to my dumb ass friend. He used a wire wheel to clean the lead out of the inside of my H&G mold and ruined it. I wont let him even borrow used toilet paper anymore. Sorry about the rant
I also have a Lyman Round nose 45 mold it feeds great.

El DeguelloMine is the Lyman-Keith 452423HP. It comes from my mould at 230 grains due to the hollow point. I use it with 7.3 grains of Unique, MV 998 FPS. Very accurate, good bullet!
Of course, the barrel feed ramp must be contoured to feed SWC's.....
