Any one have this in the 190g 45?
I would love to find the 155g 10mm one and thinking I might "need" this 45...

You boys need to learn how to hustle and keep the mould and pin hot. Ladling at 290⁰ mould temperature ain't gonna cut it. Running the ragged edge of shiny with rounded bands ain't gonna cut it. 725⁰ sticky wheelweights with no additional tin does great in the ACP, you just have to make four pours a minute or they won't fill and will have a big void in the bottom of the cavity or tip of the pin area.

Don't own one!Bottom pour!
I've never had success with the parent 452374 design unless I cast pretty hot. I always had difficulties with bullet diameter above the lube groove being a bit small. Add a large gaping hollowpoint to that and I can see some pretty thin HP nose walls.I'll bring this up again. The .45 Devastator (mine drops at 205 grains) really likes the high side of the middle bullet mould temperature.

All cast from 690⁰F straight clip-on wheelweight alloy with very little (about half a percent) tin present. Left to right: Mould too cool, mould just right, mould to hot. You don't need tin or 800-degree alloy to get perfect fillout. Just sayin'.www.artfulbullet.com
