FYI, I just did some casting the other day, nice outside. My mold was a Lee .452 200 grn 'tumble lube', semi-wadcutter,RN looking. Things went very well. The bullets mic'ed right a .452 and weighed 206 grns, with my mix. I plan to use them in the 45 colt,45 Schofield, and 45 acp. I tumble lubed some alox , & dried them and so far loaded up 80 in 45 schofield cases. They went in and snugged up very well,no special sizing needed. I think I cast over 200 in my short session. I plan to build up a supply and then try them in the 45acp once I switch over from 45 colt/schofield reloading.
