New 45 caliber bullet mould.

[High Desert Hunter]

Finally broke in the last NOE mould I purchased as Al was shutting down and retiring. It's a 45 caliber SWC, they drop at 247 grains, and I sized them to .452. It's not a Keith bullet as the bands are not of equal width. Loaded dummy rounds feed slick as butter through the Marlin. Hope to shoot some on Monday. Loaded them over 2400 and they should be around 1000fps from the Flattop and maybe 1200fps from the rifle. Garmin will let me know for sure.

I powder coated these, then lubed them with my RCBS lubrisizer, loaded them in Starline brass over 18.3gr of 2400, lit by a Federal 150 primer. Average velocity was 1394 for 5 shots, need to trim my brass to even them up, see if I can't get the SD down. Group shot offhand at 25 yards was right at 3" center to center, which is good considering that I don't shoot the semi-buckhorn sights really well.

Sounds like a pretty good start !

Yes, it's another accurate bullet for this Cowboy Limited!
