Hard to beat the lyman - Lyman Pistol Bullet Mould: 45 Colt - #452490 2660490

I am a real fan of the 45 long colt, but unfortunately the risk of leading with lead bullets exists. I have a couple of moulds and stumbled across this one with a gas check. I am very familiar with gas checks and have had excellent performance and life with the 357 gas checked loads. Seeing this one on Optics Planet at the price offered along with the current deals I decided to add it to my collection of moulds. I cast up about 500 rounds and they look good, a little heavy with the gas check but that's ok. My 45 colt likes heavy bullets. I haven't shot any yet, but I don't anticipate any problems. My cast bullets came out on average around 262 gr with the gas check which weighs around 8 gr. Wish I had bought this one in the beginning. Gas checks are a little pricey if you can find them but well worth it to me.
