45 Auto Rim

I have used the 452423 with excellent results in my Smith 17 and Ruger BH. If I had a 6 banger I would have a real choice in which I liked better- the Keith 452423 or the old GB "45BD"!

I have the GB 452423 that Catshooter ran (boy, did he cost me a lot of money!). Don’t have the 45 BD. Can someone who has both put up an image of both?

Not sure if the BD style would be helpful to me or just a variation of the same theme? Shooting them from revolvers so there is not the same concerns as if they were feeding from a magazine.

I loved this bullet on site!!

Walks sent/lent me his Accurate copy mold until I could find my own mold. I found a 1cav and then was offered a gift deal choice on another 2 cav Lyman or a 4 cav MP copy. (Solid) I choose the MP.

My latest 45 is a Remington 1875 and it has a short cyl and this bullet fits nicely!

The Lee 452-252 let me down in 45 Colts ......what I know now I didn't then deal ....... the one I had was great in the BH with that huge nose and 262 gr . I sent it on its way when it didn't play nice in the carbine (apparently I'm the only guy that has a problem with transonic upset becoming a rising curve ball) . It would probably be just the cats pajamas in the AR . I think it's offered in a 6c too .

I also have one of these and its shot fine for me in the LC but admittedly I haven't only shot a few hundred and likely most on steel.

I'll try to get a pic. As I understand it, it was designed as the heaviest bullet that would reliably function in a stock 1911 with a FN, a hunting design. IIRC it's heavier than the 423, maybe 255 or so, but don't quote me on that.
