Lyman 31041 was my match bullet for years before a found a H&G mould that cast a similar but more round bullet of the same design. They will do anything a 30/30 was meant to do.

Now if I could , someday ,somehow remember how to do that on command......

 

[Rally]

That mould would work well for what I’m thinking about, bodies on big weedless spinners. Is it for sale?
I found a listing for quite a few of the Ament moulds on eBay, but only one for the TA6. When I looked at the picture it was just a jig mould!
I knew from your description that couldn’t be correct.
Thanks much for the pic.

 

[Cadillac Jeff]

How about I send ya some of the bodies?
If ya find them to work for you....
I think I have some cast up.

That is a great load; standard and only load for my Italian SAA .45 Colt. Bullet is almost always RCBS 270 grain Scovill, except when I run out and am using up my late friends stash of Lyman 452424's.

Finished up lil over 800 pcs yesterday morning.

Not today, nor yesterday, nor day before - - too dddddurn cccccold and windy. But three days ago I got a RCBS 45-270-SAA delivered. Temp was 60dF with a pleasant SW breeze, soooo,..... Yeah, hot water and dawn and a tooth brush. Then the ole Drop-Out on a q-tip swab and clean in the cavities, then to the casting bench. While the pot was warming the mold was on the hot plate. Did a few quick chores and then commenced. I cast about a hunert and the came out nice. On the left is the 45-270-SAA and on the right is the old Lee group buy 45-310-K for comparison.

 

[Glaciers]

That RCBS 270 looks pretty good. What’s it weighing out at?

 

[sundog]

With the recycled scrap (culled bullets from other projects) this run of 45-270-SAA is 275-277. They filled out good. As expected, the mold will run hot very easily. I will powder coat these and test in a Vaquero, probably with Unique for starters when it warms up a little.

Shout out to RCBS for yet another quality mold.

I guess I've never mentioned how much I like RCBS mold, eh? At least on this board.

Getting the pot warmed up to try out my new Accurate mold. My first iron Accurate mold.
